WAT makes websites accessible
| Title: | WAT makes websites accessible (ID: CSD3288) | | Author(s): | Peter Abrahams | | Topics: | Access for Persons with Disabilities, Adaptive and Assistive Technology, Web Accessibility | | Origin: | Community Contributions (2004) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | A service called Web Adaptation Technology from IBM lets disabled users make standard Web pages more accessible. Users access standard Web sites through a host computer and a downloaded program on their desktop systems that adjusts pages to make them easier to read. Users can set and store personal settings, adjusting colors, background, font size and style, and line spacing. They can also eliminate banner ads and other images and modify keystroke timing. The service is free to not-for-profit organizations to distribute to elderly and disabled computer users. | | View this resource: | |
