“…Selecting appropriate sample tables for rendering to natural speech required several factors to be taken into consideration. Table wellformedness is ensured through certain compliance to W3C table specification [13] and W3C WAI recommendations [14]. In this work, only pure data tables are considered, that is tables used solely to convey information comprising of pure data of certain relationship, not used for page layout and without any visual enhancements or styles applied.…”

Abstract. Transferring a structure from the visual modality to the aural one presents a difficult challenge. In this work we are experimenting with prosody modeling for the synthesized speech representation of tabulated structures. This is achieved by analyzing naturally spoken descriptions of data tables and a following feedback by blind and sighted users. The derived prosodic phrase accent and pause break placement and values are examined in terms of successfully conveying semantically important visual information through prosody control in Table-to-Speech synthesis. Finally, the quality of the information provision of synthesized tables when utilizing the proposed prosody specification is studied against plain synthesis.

The paper deals with the question, how the efficiency and successfulness of web pages in information dissemination can be measured. The paper concentrates on the use of a corporate web page in public relations with different interest groups. Basic principles of public relations theory are summarized.The importance of web-page credibility is emphasized and different factors that can have influence on it are identified. Obviously, reliability, punctuality and quality of published information are of utmost importance. However other factors that can affect credibility (such as technical quality, page structure etc.), are also studied.Special attention is paid to another important topic in public relations theory -how can a web page be used to build and flourish dialogue relationships between the company and different interest groups that affect company's performance. The newly developed model CUT (Content, Usability, Technology) for evaluation of web pages is presented. The model includes evaluation of web pages from different perspectives. While accurate, complete and up-to-date information is certainly crucial, other factors from usability and technology perspective are also emphasized. The model use is demonstrated on a case study of companies from different countries and industry branches.

“…These can include: developing personas, creating fictional characters to understand and empathise with a particular audience Cooper (1999); Picking et al (2010); standards review, using a set of guidelines to ensure that constraints are accommodated within a design (e.g. Chisholm et al (2001)); automated checking, using tools which evaluate designs against set guidelines automatically Abascal et al (2004); Kasday (2000); and user testing, typically involving both, experts conducting a heuristic analysis to identify problems in a design Nielsen and Molich (1990), and, potential end-users providing general feedback on the use of a prototype Rubin and Chisnell (2008).…”

Among the key design practices which contribute to the development of inclusive ICT products and services is user testing with people with disabilities. Traditionally, this involves partial or minimal user testing through the use of standard heuristics, employing external assisting devices, and the direct feedback of impaired users. However, efficiency could be improved if designers could readily analyse the needs of their target audience as part of a highly iterative design process. The VERITAS framework simulates and systematically analyses how users with various impairments interact with the use of ICT products and services. Thus, facilitating an efficient approach to design and testing. This article reports qualitative insights into the use of the framework by 72 evaluators drawn from five application domains: infotainment-games; workplace design; smart living spaces; healthcare; and automotives. The findings show that the VERITAS framework is useful to designers, offering an intuitive approach to inclusive design. However, several key areas present challenges to designers; notably, their lack of technical knowledge made the interface difficult to comprehend and their lack of familiarity with virtual user modeling or simulation software made the workflow difficult to follow. Furthermore, designers had a number of expectations in terms of features and feedback which were not fulfilled. This article reviews these concerns and presents recommendations which will inform the design of future inclusive design tools.
