Abstract

Users who are blind currently have limited access to graphical user interfaces based on MS Windows or X Windows.Past access strategies have used speech synthesizers and braille displays to present text-based interfaces.Providing access to graphical applications creates new human interface design challenges which must be addressed to build intuitive and efficient nonvisual interfaces.Two conmasting designs have been developed and implemented in the projects Mercator and GUIB.These systems differ dramatically in their approaches to providing nonvisual interfaces to GUIS.This paper discusses four main interface design issues for access systems, and describes how the Mercator and GUIB designs have addressed these issues.It is hoped that the exploration of these interfaces will lead to better nonvisual interfaces used in low visibility and visually overloaded environments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
