Dear All,
Apologies if this email is off-topic but please read on below to find out about
a project to improve Internet access for the blind and visually-impaired
community.
-------------
Our project aims to improve Internet access for the blind and visually-impaired
community by using senses other than vision to convey information. In
particular, sound and touch will be used for exploring web pages. By using
these new approaches, blind and visually-impaired users will have enhanced
access to the Internet.
We are currently looking for visually-impaired (blind or partially-sighted)
volunteers in the UK and the Republic of Ireland to participate in a
telephone-based interview, the purpose of which is to assess how each person
uses the Internet and to determine its associated difficulties. We are looking
at all age groups and levels of computer experience (beginner to expert), so if
you are interested, please contact web4blind@xxxxxxxxx
(web4blind-at-yahoo-dot-com) and we can arrange a time that suits you.
Further information about our work is available from http://www.web4blind.org
