SIGACCESS

I have also addressed the shortcomings of existing HCI models and hope to develop a system that will be easier to use than the existing models and support both able-bodied and disabled users.

As a proposed solution to this situation, from the engineering perspective, the methodological support AWA (Accessibility for Web Applications) is presented in this thesis.

The results of this research support our main thesis that the accessibility of pen-based interfaces can be improved for older adults by first examining the sources of age-related acquisition difficulty, and then using the results of this examination to develop improved techniques.

This thesis presents work that addresses both these limitations. SADIe, a content transcoder, was developed that is both accurate and scalable.

Providing a more accessible non-visual navigation of spreadsheets will help individuals who are blind and visually impaired in getting a better education, will improve their skills, and assist them in entering new careers.

This PhD report explores how automatic accessibility assessment benefits both accessibility experts and end-users.

This dissertation explores novel intelligent interfaces enabling blind people to independently improve web content.
