Nowadays computer workstations are not
suitable for disabled peoples. They require a delicate motor
coordination of eye and hand and the graphical oriented interface
between human and machine excludes visual impaired users or
restricted them at least.
The so-called screenreader remedies the abuse. It extracts
the main textual information from the graphic context and
displays it on a Braille line respectively provides it over
a voice medium. Within this reduction the semantically context
will be lost partially so that the comfortable operation isn't
possible.
At this point our research project begins.

We are trying to restore the semantically relation by pre-processing
and structuring of the data and these will be provided to
the changed requirement.
Target is the improvement of the usability.
A blind user should be able, without foreign help, to master
the handling with the computer alone. A complete and arbitrary
configurable translation (voice) support belongs to this.
The necessary modules are getting developed as far as possible
system-neutral and they build the extensions which are situated
under a GPL license, free of charge and open source available.
