Designing a Web Accessibility Environment for the Visually Impaired

Abstract

The growth development of communication tools and storage technologies, as well as the technical simplicity of publishing information on the Internet, have enabled the production of a giant mass of Web information for which visually impaired users often do not have a guarantee of quality or reliability; They review a lot of data to sort out the results found and finally access their need. For this, mapping information needs to a relevant and accessible document is even more complex today. In this article, we propose an approach for visually impaired people to facilitate their navigating tasks while optimizing them, in which we focus on query reformulation by metaheuristics in the Web context and the accessibility of the latter.
