>Hello,
>We're developing a prototype system which takes numerical data found
>on maps online (like census data) and communicates it as texts so
>that it's accessible to the blind and VI community.
>I'm running a final experiment now to find out which texts are most
>preferred by blind and VI users so that we can implement these in
>our system, and so I was hoping that you might participate if you're
>blind or severely visually-impaired. The experiment takes on average
>half an hour and it's online, so you can do it whenever is best for
>you, though it needs to be done all in one sitting without taking
>breaks or pauses in the middle. It's also quite repetitive, as
>you'll be listening to 10 texts and answering questions about each
>of them, but your participation will really make a difference and
>help us to produce texts which make the most sense to blind and VI
>users in general. Please forward this on to anyone else who you think might be
>willing to participate. The website to go to to take the experiment is:
