Scott Luebking did a bit of stuff some time ago. I believe that there is also work in the voice area, although I don't know if it is freely available, that is relevant. cheers Charles On Thu, 29 Mar 2001, Kynn Bartlett wrote: At 1:37 PM -0800 3/29/01, Graham Oliver wrote: >Kynn >Thanks for your soapbox stuff, I enjoyed it and felt >challenged by it at the same time. >I would just like to ask you about one thing you said. > >>>can you even make a _good_ user interface for >>>screenreaders, based on the graphical browser user's >>>interface?

There's precious little research on this particular topic -- I don't know of any usability studies of screenreader users using "accessible" web designs (compared with them using "inaccessible" designs or with user-centric dynamic web interfaces). Now, if one of you enterprising research geniuses out there wants to work on this, I'll be glad to contribute as much help as my schedule allows! --Kynn -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
