![]() Why read if you can skim: Towards enabling faster screen reading. Ahmed Faisal, Borodin Yevgen, Puzis Yury, and Ramakrishnan I.ACM Computing Surveys 46, 2, Article 19 ( December 2013), 23 pages. Overview of auditory representations in human–machine interfaces. Understanding the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. ![]() We discuss implications of these results for the design of accessible collaborative systems. We then performed a systematic evaluation study with 48 screen reader users that indicated that non-speech audio, changing voices, and contextual presentation can potentially improve writers’ collaboration awareness. Building on our formative interviews with 20 academics and professionals with vision impairments, we developed auditory representations that indicate comments and edits using non-speech audio (e.g., earcons, tone overlay), multiple text-to-speech voices, and contextual presentation techniques. As a step toward addressing this issue, the present article aims at improving screen reader representation of collaborative features such as comments and track changes (i.e., suggested edits). This severely affects the way people with vision impairments collaborate in ability-diverse teams. Yet, there has not been much work to improve screen reader access in mainstream collaborative writing tools. Collaborative writing tools have been used widely in professional and academic organizations for many years. ![]()
