Web browsing interface for people with severe speech and motor impairment in India

Published: 20 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

We present design and development of a web browser that allow easy dissemination of information through World Wide Web for people with cerebral palsy in India. Our focus user group comprises people with severe form of spastic cerebral palsy and highly restricted motor movement skills. Throughout the development process we have interacted with the target users to understand their requirements and to get design advises. The browser is augmented with an intelligent auto-scanning mechanism through which the web contents and browser GUI controls can be accessed with less time and effort. We have field tested the browser with the target users where preliminary evaluation results suggests that the proposed browser is quite effective in terms of task execution time, cognitive effort and overall usability.
