AAC includes facial expressions, sign languages, and picture cards, as well as high-tech devices. Most AAC systems present users with hierarchical arrays of symbols that are sequentially selected to construct messages. Although speed of message construction and ease of use are critical, these systems are often slow and require fatiguing physical movements. Our work challenges three main assumptions common to AAC that influence design decisions and place increased demands on the user rather than the system. We leverage natural language processing and machine learning to design intelligent communication interfaces that shift the cognitive and physical burden from the user to the system to allow for faster, less fatiguing communication. This work has implications for both face-to-face and Web-based communication. AAC users are increasingly turning to the Web for social interaction, and W4A provides a unique opportunity to explore how to leverage intelligent interfaces to lower the barriers to active participation in the World Wide Web.","PeriodicalId":339122,"journal":{"name":"International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126419174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as Wood and Hollier [3] foreshadowed in 2013, the recently released NTS 2012 Progress Report confirms that the targets for the first stage of the NTS implementation plan (Level A conformance by the end of 2012) proved unrealistic [4]. Moreover, the Chief Information Officer with the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO), Glen Archer, acknowledges it is unlikely that the targets set for the final stage of the implementation plan (Level AA conformance) will be met by the end of 2014 [5]. This paper reports the findings from content analysis of postings to AGIMO blogs, and our reflections on the discussions of students enrolled in an online Professional Certificate in Web Accessibility Compliance course, to identify key factors that have contributed to the challenges experienced by government departments in achieving NTS targets. The final section of the paper explores the implications and proposes strategies that could assist in addressing the identified barriers.","PeriodicalId":339122,"journal":{"name":"International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124960370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although they rely on keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the content quickly, browsing fatigue caused by too many keyboard presses and clicks, increased cognitive load caused by having to remember many shortcuts, and information overload from having to listen to irrelevant content, are all too common. Speech-based interaction modality has the potential to address these shortcomings by allowing users to engage in a dialog with an intelligent agent capable of translating user commands/requests to system actions and generating appropriate responses to them.\u0000 This paper presents empirical findings of a Wizard-of-Oz user study conducted with 24 blind subjects to provide a baseline for gauging the usability and effectiveness of speech interfaces for non-visual web access. Specifically, study participants were required to complete a set of typical web browsing tasks using unrestricted speech commands ranging from simple commands such as \"click the search button\", to complex commands such as \"buy this product\". Unknown to the participants, these commands were executed by the wizard and appropriate responses were generated with the help of a screen reader. An important byproduct emerging from the study is a new dialog corpus for non-visual web access that will provide pivotal reference data for exploring the design space underlying the development of high performance dialog systems for web accessibility.","PeriodicalId":339122,"journal":{"name":"International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125874332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, people with dementia (PwD) increasingly forget the events in their lives leading to depression, isolation and faster cognitive deterioration. Second, their caregivers, besides the emotional burden that having someone close in such a condition carries, are also likely to be overwhelmed with responsibilities and duties in maintaining the PwD with a balanced and decent lifestyle. Our approach tries to address this by providing a prosthetic memory captured in two ways: 1) automatically captures data from the PwD's smartphone and enriches it with automatically retrieved data from the web and, 2) a private social network group (friendsourcing) used to validate and personalize the relevant events in the PwD's life. By sharing the load among a limited but still populated set of trustworthy people we aim to maintain the caregiving process feasible and maintain more people engaged with the PwD. Overall, the ultimate goal is to provide reminiscence, safety and cognitive aids for the PwD that are up-to-date and personally relevant.","PeriodicalId":339122,"journal":{"name":"International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123158942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
