Abstract(in English) The widespread use of GUIs and the Internet has made the information resources of the World Wide Web available to large numbers of people. In addition to images, the Web contains vast quantities of text data. Enabling blind people to access the Web would allow them to enjoy the benefits of this rich variety of textual information . We describe how blind users can access the Web with Netscape by using Screen Reader/2, which has just become an IBM Japan product and report on existing problems and expected solutions in the nonvisual use of the Web.
