Auditory Display

The use of sound to convey information, data, or interface state to users. Auditory displays encompass a range of techniques including sonification, earcons, auditory icons, and speech output. In accessibility, auditory displays are critical for providing non-visual access to information that is typically presented graphically or spatially, such as charts, maps, and mathematical structures. They enable blind and visually impaired users to perceive and interact with complex data that would otherwise require sight.
