Abstract

We propose "Find It," a set of two features to improve the browsing experience for screen reader users, particularly individuals living with vision loss or blindness. The two features, Tagging and Quick Scrolling, enable users to organize information and focus on relevant details to efficiently and rapidly access their element of interest in lists. Tagging allows users to annotate any message, contact, or file using either a typed or a spoken word for efficient retrieval. Quick Scrolling is a touch-screen based feature that allows users to listen to selected fields of a list at a time and skip sections irrelevant to the search. This combination of tagging and scrolling has the potential to expedite list searching when using screen readers with mobile devices.
