Abstract

In this paper, we present a survey of the material used in the computer sciences lectures of two blind students showing that they have to deal with a high number and various types of UML diagrams. We also report on different textual representations of UML and present our own solutions. Moreover, we point at a current initiative, BLINDUML, which works at solutions for making UMLs accessible.
