Abstract

Sighted users are able to sift through a website quickly to find their information of interest. In contrast, screen readers present the information sequentially to blind users, which contrast with the visual presentation on screen that portrays more information at once. We believe that blind users will benefit from multiple simultaneous sound sources while scanning websites with several information items, in order to find their information of interest faster.
