| Abstract(in English) | The objective of the current research is to investigate if the Speacon, which is created by speeding up a TTS so that it is no longer comprehensible as a particular word, is useful to auditory represent the logical structure of Web (e.g. heading elements). We have carried out an experiment with g blind subjects with ordinal screen-reader and the specially arranged screen-reader which uses Speacon to represent Web structure. No statistical differences were found in terms of task completion rate, usability, and mental-workload. Most subjects. however, favored Speacon because it was easy to distinguish structure information and content and it took shorter time to represent structural information. We also found that we must pay attention to practice effect, easy-to-hear TTS when spoken fast, and appropriate setting of voice and pitch for each subject. |
