Abstract

The advantages of the new era of information are out of the capacities of the people with visual impairments. This is due to by the lack of sensibility of the Web contents developers and the low use of the accessibility guidelines. These situations can be solved with technology, and the result of the research presented in this paper offers a new system of solving one of the most important problems: the data table navigation. We present a solution that offers excellent results to make the natural complexity of these elements easy. The system is based on the visualization of the table’s content, in the same manner that uses a non-disabled person, but without the need made any image processing. The solution can help to us to obtain the total e-integration.
