Abstract

People with disabilities have always overcome accessibility problems by enlisting people in their community to help. The Internet has broadened the available community and made it easier to get on-demand assistance remotely. In particular, the past few years have seen the development of technology in both research and industry that uses human power to overcome technical problems too difficult to solve automatically. In this paper, we frame recent developments in human computation in the historical context of accessibility, and outline a framework for discussing new advances in human-powered access technology. Specifically, we present a set of 13 design principles for human-powered access technology motivated both by historical context and current technological developments. We then demonstrate the utility of these principles by using them to compare several existing human-powered access technologies. The power of identifying the 13 principles is that they will inspire new ways of thinking about human-powered access technologies.

人力接入技术的设计

残疾人总是通过寻求社区人士的帮助来克服无障碍问题。互联网扩大了可用的社区，使远程获得按需援助变得更加容易。特别是，在过去的几年里，研究和工业技术的发展都是利用人力来克服难以自动解决的技术问题。在本文中，我们在可及性的历史背景下构建了人类计算的最新发展，并概述了一个讨论人力访问技术新进展的框架。具体来说，我们提出了一套13条基于历史背景和当前技术发展的人力接入技术设计原则。然后，我们通过使用这些原则来比较几种现有的人力访问技术来演示这些原则的实用性。确定这13项原则的力量在于，它们将激发人们对人力接入技术的新思考方式。
