Adapting Web Browsers for Accessibility.
Hendrix, Paul; Birkmire, Mike
This paper examines ways to make World Wide Web browsers accessible for individuals with disabilities, and through them, gain access to the information on the Web. It discusses which browsers can be made more accessible and evaluates different types of input. Mouse access, keyboard access, and voice input are reviewed. Processing aids, such as word prediction and abbreviation expansion programs, spell checkers, and text-to-speech programs, are described. The last section discusses how the output of a computer can be adapted by modifying the visual output, supplementing the visual output, or replacing the visual output. (CR)
