Abstract
Synthetic speech is widely used by blind people to enable them to receive textual output from computer systems. Used appropriately, speech provides a reasonably high level of access to command-line systems such as DOS and Unix, and forms the basis of many attempts to adapt graphical user interfaces. However, while current speech adaptations succeed in providing a basic level of access to textual computer output, they do not provide blind users with the same level of usability enjoyed by sighted people using a visual display.
