I tried this site last night, and it was very confusing to say the least! Not sure how it was for others.

Hello,
I was hoping you might be able to help me by participating in an online experiment on accessibility. We're developing a prototype system which takes numerical data found on maps online (like census data) and communicates it as texts so that it's accessible to the blind and VI community. I'm running a final experiment now to find out which types of texts are most preferred by blind and VI users so that we can implement these in our system, and so I was hoping that you might be willing to participate. The experiment takes on average half an hour and it's online, so you can do it whenever is best for you, though it needs to be done all in one sitting without taking breaks or pauses in the middle. It is also a bit repetitive and requires your full concentration, but the results will hopefully enable us to communicate spatial information in maps in a more accessible way. Your participation will really make a difference and help us to produce texts which make the most sense to blind and VI users in general. Please forward this on to anyone else who you think might be willing to participate.
The website to go to to take the experiment is:
