Accessible skimming: faster screen reading of web pages
Pages 289 - 290
Abstract
Sighted people know how to quickly glance over the headlines and news articles online to get the gist of information. On the other hand, people who are blind use screen-readers to listen through the content narrated by a serial audio interface. This interface does not give them an opportunity to know what content to skip and what to listen to. In this work, I present an automated approach to facilitate non-visual skimming of web pages.
