  • Interface modeling issues in providing access to GUIs for the visually impaired (panel session)

    A. D. N. Edwards, E. D. Mynatt, J. Thatcher · 1994 · Proceedings of the First Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '94)

    This Assets '94 panel session brought together three leading researchers to discuss the fundamental challenge of making graphical user interfaces accessible to blind and visually impaired users. By 1994, the computing world was rapidly transitioning from text-based command-line…

  • Screen Reader/2: Access to OS/2 and the Graphical User Interface

    Jim Thatcher · 1994 · Proceedings of the First Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '94)

    This paper describes IBM Screen Reader/2, a screen access system that enabled blind users to interact with the OS/2 graphical user interface (GUI), Windows programs running under OS/2, and text-mode DOS and OS/2 programs. The system evolved from nearly a decade of development…

  • An experimental sound-based hierarchical menu navigation system for visually handicapped use of graphical user interfaces

    Arthur I. Karshmer, P. Brawner, G. Reiswig · 1994 · Proceedings of the First Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '94)

    This paper addresses the accessibility crisis created by the shift from character-based computer interfaces to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the early 1990s. The authors note that earlier text-based systems were well-served by assistive technologies like screen readers,…

  • Providing access to graphical user interfaces — not graphical screens

    W. Keith Edwards, Elizabeth D. Mynatt, Kathryn Stockton · 1994 · Proceedings of the First Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '94)

    This paper argues that screen readers for graphical user interfaces should provide access to application interfaces at the semantic level rather than merely translating graphical screen contents. The authors from Georgia Tech's GVU Center identify three levels of interface…
