Hi Ann,
I am trying not to make any unwarranted assumptions but, on the face of it I
cannot think of any way that a totally blind person can do this independently.
That said, I have asked that the tool be 100% AT compatible for those who are
partially-sighted and those who are blind and offering editorial and conceptual
help.
The truth is, I am very interested to know how best to capture the strategies
and acquired knowledge of blind readers in the protocols as well as the tools
we develop. Reassuringly this is the same orientation I found as I met with
Brazil's experts in image and audio description.
So, any and all suggestions are welcome. We have 15,000 images total to do over
the next 12 months so I think there are enough to experiment with using
whatever ides we can dream up together!
Scott

HI Ann,
Yes, I would assume that a totally blind person can't do this work. Since
we need the image descriptions ourselves, it seems reasonable to me that we
can't describe them.
Just my understanding though.

Hi all,
I've got a really, really dumb question to ask. Does one assume that a
totally blind person cannot do this work?
