Predictive web automation assistant for people with vision impairments

Abstract

The Web is far less usable and accessible for people with vision impairments than it is for sighted people. Web automation, a process of automating browsing actions on behalf of the user, has the potential to bridge the divide between the ways sighted and people with vision impairment access the Web; specifically, it can enable the latter to breeze through web browsing tasks that beforehand were slow, hard, or even impossible to accomplish. Typical web automation requires that the user record a macro, a sequence of browsing steps, so that these steps can be automated in the future by replaying the macro. However, for people with vision impairment, automation with macros is not usable.
