There is evidence that blind people's documents are treated dismissively when they do not match "expected" standards of document presentation. Many blind persons feel it is important to format their document and rely on sighted people to help them ...

Mathematics manipulation accessibility is a newly discussed and introduced research area extending the general mathematics accessibility approaches on the web. This project goes further beyond what researchers already started in mathematics rendering ...

Diagrams are important components of educational materials. They can be found in various media. Printed media, such as text books, have traditionally been the most commonly used media for educational material, however online electronic resources, such ...

In recent days, there is a tendency in Malaysia that more and more people are interested the research regarding the use of computing and information technology by the ageing population and people with disabilities. Below are some examples of these ...

In 2008 the Dexter Model of Hypertext will be 20 years old. Even after 20 years, the structure of Web documents, and the syntax we use to describe them and their relations to one another is still noticeably bound up with that 1980's view of content ...

The ability to interact effectively with computers through typical graphic user interfaces (GUIs) is greatly affected by any refractive errors present in an individual's visual system. These errors can be mathematically modeled (as the wavefront ...

The Web Community tolerates bad markup for visual effect even when the practice excludes partially sighted users. This paper describes a two-phase process to recondition websites: deconstruction and building a new skin. It uses cascading style sheets. ...

Bookmarks are shortcuts that enable quick access of the desired Web content. They have become a standard feature in any browser and recent studies have shown that they can be very useful for non-visual Web access as well. Current bookmarking techniques ...

Movement, or mobility, is key to the accessibility, design, and usability of many hypermedia resources (websites); and key to good mobility is context and preview by probing. This is especially the case for visually impaired users when a hypertext ...

We describe the UMA system, a system developed under a multi-institution collaboration for making mathematics universally accessible. The UMA system includes translators that freely inter-convert mathematical documents transcribed in formats used by ...

Tables remain a persistent problem for visually impaired people using screen readers. Tables are complex structures that are widely used for different purposes such as spatial layout or data summarisation. The multi-dimensional nature of tables ...
