Blind people still face difficulties in the use of technological devices, especially those with a touch screen, like tablets. Currently these people depend on screen-reading software as an accessibility tool. One of the most popular for mobile devices is the Apple VoiceOver. When improving accessibility in such context, the autonomy of blind people in digital environments is improved considerably, specially due to the popularization of touch screen devices. Considering the interaction among groups of people, shared message boards are also surging as an interaction technology solution in different contexts. In this work we present a study about the use of a tablet as a support tool to the use of a digital board, the board Smarter Board. The study count on the participation of 12 blind people that used the Smarter Board with the support of an iPad during an assistive technology event. Results show that the use of tablets as an interaction mediator with shared-message boards is promising.
