Making Visual Programming Accessible to the Blind.

Abstract

The proliferation of graphical user interfaces has had a dramatic impact on the ability of the blind to work as programmers. It is particularly difficult for the blind to design forms for programs written in Visual Basic. A scripting language is introduced that enables the blind to create Visual Basic forms without the need to specify all the detailed information that Visual Basic requires and without the “point and click” approach that the blind cannot use. The syntax of the language is described and future plans, including the expansion of the language and testing are discussed.
