Abstract - Inthe context of asociety were the Webispresent
one of the most used web design accessibility guidelines dates December 2008.
in many aspects, there is a significant amount of visually impaired users whose experience is far from being satisfactory. There are technologies aiming this problem but still with no full success. The problem addressed in this project is the existing gap between the visually impaired users and the solutions being offered to them. As a solution to this problem, a middleware prototype is developed. It acts as a web application so the user does not need to install anything. The middleware also offers different adaptations to the user such as amplifying lens, text narrator, and others. The solution was tested by visually impaired users and it received an overall positive result. Some features like the amplifying lens received a good value and some of them need further improvement.
A change in the overview of website design and a stronger inclusion of accessibility is needed given that visually impaired users still cannot fully benefit from the advantagesthis new Web 2.0 has been offering the last 10 years. This projects aims to contribute tothis issue offering a middleware prototype to improve visually impaired users’ web experience.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY The manuscript begin by introducing the concept of web accessibility and their improvement in models. Web accessibility is defined in relation to its significance for people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. The survey delves into the historical progression of awareness and initiatives, highlighting key milestones like the WCAG guidelines.
Key Words: Web accessibility, Visually impaired, prototype, Low vision, Web adaptation
1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays we use the Internet and websites for multiple types of tasks, from sending anemail to our friend, check the bus timetable or the result of a sports game. Since the uptake of the so-called Web 2.0, term popularized on late 2004 [1], new technologies and techniques for web design and construction have appeared. This new approach allows a great interaction between the web site and the user, switching the user from just a content consumer to a new interactive role.
The paper then discusses the various components of a web accessibility system There exists a wide range of disabilities, some are relatively mild, while others are severe enough to affect every aspect of life. It is particularly difficult when designing technology For individuals with disabilities as they require a system that is developed for their level of understanding. Web accessibility is very important section in internet era so there are good number of research work or resources are available. All these case studies shows that most website developers follow WCAG 2.0 (web content accessibility guideline) as standard in webaccessibility. As per this studies there are a lot of issues in websites. Their evaluation has been done based on WAVE automated tool and only errors have been counted for analysis and not alert.
However, this changes have not benefited all the users by the same weight. As the World Health Organization estimates, in figures dating 2013 , in Europe there are 26 million people with visual impairments and 4 million people that suffer from sight-loss. The evolution of the Web has not been paired with the evolution of accessible technologies for visually impaired users [2]. Some approaches have been done to improve this issue like screen readers, Braille output devices, or web design guidelines. However, those means did not fully solve the problem when being released nor have solve it now.
The world wide web consortium (w3c) develops standard foe website development. Web content accessibility guidelines is developed by organizations as well as individuals who are related to w3c. Accessibility attribute checkers approaches relatedto accessibility testing focus on checking syntactical attributes. The research papers focus on syntactic checks which checks for high-level
