Summary of Session

This paper presents an efficient implementation of Screen Reader for SW accessibility using serialized data and position notification algorithms from tactile feedback.

Abstract

A variety of mobile devices are available in the marketplace today, and they have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. Ubiquitous environments must be able to easily accepted by not only the general public, but even by people with disabilities. Users are frequently using equipment with touch screens on the mobile devices today. Touch screen input devices are useful to the general public, but it is a device that is not yet a familiar kind for blind and partially sighted people. The primary means of providing information on touch screen devices is a visual, thus the use of such devices is a very difficult for people who can’t utilize visual feedback. We focus on minimizing this problem by providing and a screen reader. In this thesis, we will introduce ESRE (Enhanced Screen Reader Engine). It consists of four features – Information visualization, Playback method, Geometry information support, and Information level change based on auditory and tactile feedback.
