A Novel TDEF1.0 for Making Twitter Accessible for People with Disabilities

Abstract

This manuscript introduces a novel framework to extend the accessibility of Twitter users’ timelines to people with disabilities. Our proposed framework is designed with iconic speaker and information functionalities which will enable transcription of multi- media content and provide users the opportunity to read and hear the translated transcripts depending upon the user’s primary language. This work is one of its kind that opens Twitter’s user timeline completely to people with disabilities.
