Hi Lydia,

 

You may like to have a look at PictureBraille. This software allows you to
convert print and computer images to a tactile form that can be embossed on
any Braille embosser. Tactile graphics from PictureBraille can also be
imported into the Duxbury Braille translator providing a single document for
both Braille text and graphics.

 

A demonstration program and sample graphics are available from our web site.
Click this link and follow the PictureBraille links on the page.

Subject: [accessibleimage] How does blind users access graphical information
as charts (flowcharts, organisation chart)

 

Does anyone can guide me. I am new in this mailing list and have few
questions and hope to find some answers with you.

How does blind user access graphical information like flow charts,
organisation charts?

What are the most common methods and tools used?

Does it allow a blind user to have the same experience as sighted users?

What does a blind user think of the accessibility of this kind of graphics
on the web?

Do they have some ideas of what they would like to see happen?

When accessing a flowchart or organisation chart, what kind of information
are they interested in?

I have read a lot on accessibility but didn't find much on graphics (charts)
accessibility except providing text alternatives or long descriptions, but
Is it enough to make charts accessible, some are very long to describe, is
there anything else that exist?

What kind of information do I need to describe?

If I want to check that my complex chart is accessible to a blind person,
what kind of method do I need to use?

Thanks

Lydia
