Hi all,

We're developing a prototype system which takes numerical data found on
maps 
online (like census data) and communicates it as texts so that it's 
accessible to the blind and VI community.

I'm running a final experiment now to find out which texts are most 
preferred by blind and VI users so that we can implement these in our 
system, and so I was hoping that you might participate if you're blind
or 
severely visually-impaired. The experiment takes on average half an hour
and 
it's online, so you can do it whenever is best for you,
though it needs to be done all in one sitting without taking breaks or 
pauses in the middle.

Your participation will really make a difference and help us to produce 
texts which make the most sense to blind and VI users in general. Please
forward this on to anyone else who you think might be willing to
participate.

The website to go to to take the experiment is:
