Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of EasyTrans, an accessible translation web application system for Blind Translators (BT). EasyTrans runs entirely on a web server and utilizes many web services, allowing BT users to perform their translation tasks online, thus relieving them from installing any software. EasyTrans has a simple and intuitive user interface with several dictionaries to support BT in their translation tasks. Usability evaluation of EasyTrans showed that BT were satisfied by its performance and provided further suggestion for enhancement.
