Mixed-Ability Collaboration for Accessible Photo Sharing

Published:08 October 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

We conducted two online surveys about current and potential collaborative photo sharing processes among blind and sighted people. We describe existing challenges that blind and visually impaired people encounter when trying to write alternative text for their own photographs and examine how their online sighted friends and family members might be able to contribute assistance as they make their content more accessible to other people with visual impairments.
