Abstract(in English) Though programmers with visual disabilities have to use tactile graphics to comprehend diagrams including flowcharts, more than half of them cannot understand their contents because they cannot read Braille on tactile graphics. The authors had developed tactile graphics system with explanation in voice to solve this problem, but it took a long time to create tactile graphics for this system. Recently, the authors have developed automatic conversion program from usual printed flowchart and succeeded in reducing time to create tactile graphics with explanation in voice.
