accommodate any application. VCD constructs the set of available voice commands based on application context; these commands are directly synthesized from on-screen labels and accessibility metadata, and require no further intervention from the application developer. Second, it provides more efficient and natural interaction with support of multiple voice commands in the same utterance. We present the system design of VCD and describe its utility in significantly improving experience of graphic interface interaction for blind and motionimpaired users

graphical user interfaces (GUI), objects, such as buttons, menus and documents, are presented for users to manipulate in ways that are similar to the way they are manipulated in the real work space, only that they are displayed on the screen as icons. The first and most essential step of interaction with GUI is target locating, sighted people can intuitively and the target object with a quick visual scan. But without visual access to the screen, this simple task is often very hard to finish, which is the main cause of difficulties in non-visual interaction. A Voice Command Device (VCD) is a device controlled by means of the human voice. Google created a speech recognition engine called Pico
