SRS - um simulador visual de leitor de tela para desenvolvedores web

Abstract

Accessibility, as a general concept, refers to the capacity of products, services and environments to be used by people with disabilities.Web accessibility, therefore, constitutes the ability of the web to be any person, including people with disabilities.The web nowadays offers rich experiences to its users, but there are many barriers that a person with visual disabilities faces while browsing the web.Building a web page that is well adapted to accessibility requirements is a complicated technical task.Several standards and guidelines have been created to achieve this, but mastering these standards and understanding how they will help these users' experiences isn't simple.There are existing tools to validate technical details of a web page's implementation, usually referring back to the standards or a list of items to be verified, but these tools don't tell the web developer the effects that each problem will have in the final experience, or the relative importance of each existing problem.In this research, we studied the viability and potential of a screen reader simulator, targeting web developers as its main user group, in order to support the accessibility analysis of a webpage for blind users.Two prototype versions were developed and evaluated, in order to verify the gaps from other types of tools that this approach can reach.
