Project - SUE Screenreader Usability Extensions
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.

(Existierende Elemente in grau dargestellt)
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.
