Multimodal Accessibility of Documents

“…Studies, such as (Edwards et al, 2006;Raman, 1992;Xydas & Kouroupetroglou, 2001b), are trying to create accessible documents in the acoustic modality using speech synthesis or by combining earcons (Kramer, 1994;Brewster et al 1996;Mynatt, 1994), auditory icons (Gorny, 2000) and 3D sounds (Djennane, 2003) for the auditory. Recently a rather ad-hoc approach for multimodal accessibility of mainly TEX formatted technical documents was introduced by Power (2008).…”

Advances in Human Computer Interaction

“…The discussion on accessibility of documents imposes questions on how the documents can be accessed either in visual, acoustic or haptic modality. Studies, such as (Edwards et al, 2006;Raman, 1992;Xydas & Kouroupetroglou, 2001b), are trying to create accessible documents in the acoustic modality using speech synthesis or by combining earcons (Kramer, 1994;Brewster et al 1996;Mynatt, 1994), auditory icons (Gorny, 2000) and 3D sounds (Djennane, 2003) for the auditory.

Auditory Accessibility of Metadata in Books: A Design for All Approach

“…For example, earcons can be used for navigation in a menu [12] [13]. Another approach is using 3D Audio for the acoustic representation of the content [14].…”
