Abstract

Collaborative writing applications are widely utilized in organizations to co-author documents and jointly exchange ideas. Unfortunately, for persons who are blind, collaborative writing applications are often difficult to access and use. Therefore, this paper presents the results from several usability studies that examined how visually able persons and persons who are blind interact with collaborative writing applications, and the accessibility and usability issues they encounter.
