Abstract(in English) The objective of the current study is to determine important facts in describing images or photos with speech without using the sense of sight. We prepared 10 types of descriptions for 9 photographs respectively. The subjects were required to evaluate each description in terms of "easy to understand" and other 7 points. The result shows that "easy to understand" consists of, "good tones", "simple words", "clearness", "enough explanation", and "shortness" in this order. We also interviewed people with visual disabilities to ask what kinds of description was easy to understand.
