Browsing shortcuts is a mechanism which facilitates blind people to move efficiently to various elements of a web page (e.g. functional elements such as forms, navigational aids etc.), hence operating effectively as an interaction method and a vital counterbalance to low accessibility of web pages. Results of a quantitative analysis which measured navigation performance and cognitive overhead criteria (task completion time, number of keystrokes, web page reading times) with and without the use of browsing shortcuts, showed that browsing shortcuts has a statistically significant positive effect on navigation performance of blind people. In this paper we examine further the idea of browsing shortcuts by presenting a personalised user interface of a specialised voice web browser. Three ways of personalising the user interface are presented based on the reordering and adaptation of browsing shortcuts and well as by incorporating recommendations about browsing shortcut selection.
