Hi all,
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 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 participate if you're blind or severely
visually-impaired. 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.
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:
