Title:
Auditory Presentation of Graphical User Interfaces
Authors:
Elizabeth D. Mynatt
Abstract:
This paper describes work to provide mappings between X-based graphical
interfaces and auditory interfaces. In our system, dubbed Mercator, this
mapping is transparent to applications. The primary motivation for this
work is to provide accessibility to graphical applications for users who
are blind or visually impaired. In this paper, I describe the design of
an auditory interface which simulates many of the features of graphical
interfaces. Some of these features have been evaluated in a small user
study. I will present lessons learned from this study as well as discuss
areas for further work.
Keywords:
