CURRICULUM & PLANNING. From braille to Be My Eyes – there's a revolution happening in tech for the blind. “Connected to other part,” my iPhone says to me as I stand somewhere in London’s Soho, trying to decipher the letter on the top of a bus stop.
“Hello?” Says an American woman, reminding me of Scarlett Johansson’s disembodied artificially intelligent character from the sci-fi film Her. “Hey, er … can you give me a hand by reading the letter on the bus stop?” I ask. “Sure … can you move your phone a bit more up, and to the left … Ya! Result. I have a little bit of vision, but only enough to see motion and movement. I am using an app called Be My Eyes, an app that connects blind and visually impaired people to sighted volunteers via a remote video connection.
I began to lose my sight in the summer of 2013 to a rare genetic mitochondrial disease called Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy and was soon registered blind. Be My Eyes has just over 35,000 visually-impaired users registered for the app and over half a million volunteers. Its benefits are obvious. It’s not just for the blind. Blind or Low Vision.

Proper Survey Design: The Key to Effective Surveys. I recently gave a teleconference on "The Key to Effective Surveys.
" There was some great discussion at the end, so I thought I would share these questions in the hopes that they'll eliminate confusion next time you're designing your own survey. Q1. Are customers less likely to respond to an online survey if they know we'll know who they are by their email address? A1: This can be an issue but in general it is not. Of course the more sensitive the topic the bigger issue it is, but 99% of the surveys I do have very little confidentiality issues. Q2. A2: The only time to keep a survey blind is when you’re going to lose something by using a non-blind survey. For example, if you are Nike and you want to know how you compare to another company (you want unbiased, honest feedback about something you offer in comparison to something offered by another company).
Q3. A3: The response rate has nothing to do with blind, only with non-blind. Q4. Q5. Q6. Q7. Q8. Q9. Survey Design for Visually Impaired and Blind People. This paper presents guidelines for the design of self-administered surveys for visually impaired and blind people within a mixed mode approach.
The different needs of the target group are fulfilled by offering different modes of participation (paper-based, braille-based, Web-based). Reading aids have in common that they enhance the focus of a specific piece of text or single word. This advantage turns into a disadvantage in terms of a clear overview and arrangement of the text elements on a page. Therefore text needs to be designed with cognitive processes and accessibility standards in mind. This is especially true for a survey questionnaire where each question and answer item has to convey its own special meaning independent from context.
