Development of Tactile Graph Generation Web Application Using R Statistics Software Environment
Open accessAbstract
We have developed software that uses the R statistics software environment to automatically generate tactile graphs — i.e. graphs that can be read by blind people using their sense of touch. We released this software as a Web application to make it available to anyone, from anywhere. This Web application can automatically generate images for tactile graphs from numerical data in a CSV file. It is currently able to generate four types of graph — scatter plots, line graphs, bar charts and pie charts. This paper describes the Web application's functions, operating procedures and the results of evaluation experiments.

In a study by Watanabe et al., participants were not able to operate the 'Select File' push button with the Enter key, and the problem was circumvented by pressing the Space key.
“This problem was mentioned in a study by Watanabe etal., who explained that the 'first issue occurred when participants were not able to operate the 'Select File' push button with the Enter key. The problem was circumvented by pressing the Space key' [52].”

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.
