“…[6] showed that non-literate and semi-literate subjects find it difficult to make sense of the textbased UI, and have better task-completion rates with richer multimedia. Thereafter, [7] designed mobile interfaces for such users using graphics, motivated by [2,8], and numerical digits, which are acceptable as found by [9].…”

Mobile enabled payment technologies have seen an upsurge with advancement in smartphone technology. Several companies, including Google, Paypal, Amazon, Facebook have launched mobile payment solutions. Easy to adopt user interfaces play a pivotal role in wider adoption of such solutions. Typically, existing mobile payment solutions are designed for the user to type in the details of a transaction, like recipient id, amount, authorization code. Use of a pictorial mode to capture the transaction information can make the user interaction easier and faster during a transaction. We use a popular pictorial encoding format, called Quick-Response (QR) code, to auto-fill necessary details during a transaction, thus relieving the user from typing in the details. In this study using 48 participants from different literacy levels, we have compared the use of standard typing based system against inputs using pictorial format for enabling mobile payments. Our study indicates the benefits of QR code in designing UIs for mobile payment applications.

“…Many studies report on the development and design of interfaces for low literacy individuals [33,34,24,20,18,27,14]. In order to enhance the content comprehension of the content, the studies use different kinds of media and communication modes that partially or totally replace the textual content available on the interfaces.…”

“…Medhi et al [20] state that graphical representation comprehension depends on the domain that the information represents and the culture context of users. Besides the graphical representation use for presenting information, some studies describe the use of color for indexing information [18], videos tutorials [27] and tabular information for structuring data [14], among others.…”

In this paper we describe a web content adaptation tool for assisting low-literacy readers to access online information. The"Educational FACILITA" tool provides innovative features and the design of more intuitive interaction models. Especially, we propose an interaction model and web application that explore the Natural Language Processing tasks of lexical elaboration and named entity labeling for improving web accessibility.

“…For instance: availability of graphic representations [5] and use of numerical symbols [11] [22]. Considering the context of automatic content generation, solutions to implement the automatic retrieval of images or other types of representation that are really significant for text understanding are highly complex.…”

Texts are the media content primarily available on Web sites and applications. However, this heavy use of texts creates an accessibility barrier to those who cannot read fluently in their mother tongue due to both text length and linguistic complexity. To offer an accessible alternative to these readers, shorter and simplified versions of text content should be provided. Taking that into consideration, this paper introduces Facilita, an assistive technology to help lowerliteracy users to understand the text content of Web applications. Facilita generates an accessible content from Web pages automatically, using summarization and simplification techniques. It is also important to consider interface design requirements, since Facilita's target audience (the functionally illiterate) is often classified as computer illiterate as well. Thus, interaction and user interface design were developed considering the limitations and skills of the functionally illiterate.
