VoxLens: Adding one line of code can make some interactive visualizations accessible to screen-reader users washington.edu - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from washington.edu Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Interactive visualizations aren't often accessible to people who use screen readers that use a synthesized voice or Braille. VoxLens aims to change that.
Researchers have developed prototypes of data visualizations that enable blind and low-vision people who use screen readers to more easily explore information and gain deeper insights about chart data. They plan to turn these prototypes into a software tool that could help designers make data visualizations accessible and navigable.
