چکیده
This paper details the design of an audio interface for a multi-modal content-aware web plug-in. The system aims to provide spatial and navigational information to visually impaired Internet users through speech and non-speech audio with haptic feedback. The web plug-in and audio interface are presented and discussed, along with recommendations for future system development.

Effects of Speech and Non-Speech Sounds on Short-Term Memory and Possible Implications for In-Vehicle Use Research paper for the ICAD05 workshop "Combining Speech and Sound in the User Interface"
Using auditory output for presenting non-critical but relevant events to the car driver, we compared the effect of four groups of sounds (two speech, two non-speech) on short-term memory and on response time and accuracy. The results indicate that longer speech messages can disrupt short-term memory performance whereas earcons, auditory icons, and single keywords do not cause this effect. Earco...

متن کاملThe design and evaluation of an assistive multimodal interface
A requirements capture carried out with thirty blind and visually impaired participants has outlined many issues visually impaired people face when accessing the Web using current assistive technology. One key finding was that spatial information is not conveyed to users. An assistive multimodal interface has been developed that conveys spatial information to users via speech, audio and haptics...
