FOREWORD The Blind in Computer Programming—An International Conference, held in Cleveland, Ohio, October 9-11, 1969, was sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery, The Cleveland Society for the Blind, and the Social Rehabilitation Service of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The planning and implementation of this international conference was made possible through funds provided by the Committee on Professional Activities of the Blind, of the Association for Computing Machinery, and its chairman. Dr. T. Sterling. The production of these proceedings was supported also by a Public Health Service supplemental grant to the committee from the Social and Rehabilitation Service (supplement to Grant No. RD-2689-S) The organizers of this conference express their appreciation for this support and thank all those who have made this conference possible. The ACM Committee on Professional Activities of the Blind organized the conference to bring together blind programmers, employers and prospective employers of blind programmers, representatives from schools for the blind, rehabilitation counselors, members of agencies serving the blind, and colleagues. The conference provided a forum for presenting problems and solutions connected with selection, training, placement, and employment of blind persons as professional workers in computer programming. The number of attendees at the conference was 161, 80 of whom were blind prograiraners. Thirty-four states and two foreign countries were represented. General Electric Company was most prominent and generous in its publicity on the conference activities, and its direct support in providing computer time for the on-line demonstrations of parallel print and braille terminals. The G.E. Mark I Time-Sharing System, which is presently being marketed for educational applications, was employed to demonstrate not only the hardware, but the completely independent program developmental and operational capability afforded to a time-sharing terminal operator who is blind. With these terminals, a blind programmer has two outputs produced simultaneously: a regular printed copy for his supervisor and colleagues from the page printer on the teletypewriter, and a braille copy for himself. Four hardware displays were exhibited which enable a blind programmer to obtain braille output in a time-sharing environment. The following comment is taken from the ACM Newsletter for Blind Computer Programmers , Issue 4, Vol. 2, No. 1, April 1970, under the section entitled "Braille Terminals Exhibited in Cleveland". .While the conference itself was not primarily intended to place emphasis on hardware developments, nevertheless it does seem appropriate to provide some comment on the systems which were demonstrated. The first of these devices was the M.I.T. High-Speed Embosser, which has been under development for some time by the Sensory Aids Evaluation and Development Center of M.I.T. Mr. George Dalrymple of that organization operated and demonstrated the device, which produces high-quality braille in a page format at rates compatible with remote terminal data transmission. The paper is fan-folded and sprocket-fed, as is paper for a line printer, but is the same size and weight as standard braille paper. Lines of 38 characters each are printed 25 to a page. The device employs the ASCII code, and was operated at the conference from a paper-tape reader. While it is intended for use on-line with a time-shared computer, it was not so used at the exhibit in Cleveland. The remaining three systems produced braille on paper tape rather than in a page format. The first of these was shown by Mr. Ray E. Morrison, a retired Pioneer of the Bell Telephone System. The electronics and embossing head were used to supplement an ASR 35 terminal which was supplied for the exhibit by the General Electric Company. GE also contributed computer time for the period of the conference, so that Mr. Morrison's device, as well as the remaining two tape braillers, were shown in realistic operation. The Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind of Little Rock, Arkansas, displayed a terminal braille embosser. It, like the University of Dayton one described below, is a Model 33 tele- typewriter with the normal tape-punching mechanism crippled so that embossing of braille on the paper tape occurs rather than perforation of tape. Inquiries should be directed to Mr. Elmo Knoch, Jr., Director of Training, Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind, Inc., 2811 Fair Park Boulevard, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204. Finally, a device designed and built at the University of Dayton was displayed in Cleveland. Mr. Chet Adair and Mr. Guy Carbonneau, under the direction of Dr. Martell J. Gee, were responsible for this device, which was completed only a few days before its unveiling in Cleveland. It employed an ASR 33 terminal, and produced a configuration of seven dots arranged in an expanded cell, with the addition of a seventh position below position six. Ihat permitted all 128 characters of the ASCII code to be printed, half of which would then require that the added seventh dot accompany the usual six of the standard cell. Mr. Adair distributed plastic copies of the character set implemented by this device, in braille, to conference partici- pants. Inquiries concerning this terminal should be addressed to Dr. Martell J. Gee, Manager, Science Systems Group, Office of Computing Activities, University of Dayton, Dayton, Ohio 45409. It is hoped that the above review will serve to provide information to those readers who were unable to attend the conference in Cleveland. We might all take some comfort from the fact that efforts such as those outlined here are providing an increasing variety of solutions to the problem of access to computers which operate in a time-sharing environment. Time- sharing services are expanding with explosive violence and opportunities for independent work for blind programmers are here today —not a dream of the future. In a recent discussion with one of the officials of the Teletype Corporation of Skokie, Illinois, the advantages of the Morrison configuration were presented to your Editor. If enough readers indicate their interest in braille embossing terminals by writing to the Editor, the official said that he would carry this interest to the administration to see if some positive steps could be taken to make such hardware more available for the blind. If you are a "ham" or an SWL, this kind of terminal can provide you with bulletins from the news services right from your commu- nications receiver. Two friends can send braille letters over the telephone. Such braille communication can also assist in the sorely needed information exchange with the deaf-blind. Remember, if you like the idea, write to the Editor. IV Press conferences were held with WKYC TV, the local NBC outlet, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer . Among the papers presented was a report of a conference sponsored by the American Council of the Blind in Charlotte, North Carolina in July 1969, during which a session was devoted to the blind computer programmer. The entire proceedings may be obtained by writing to Dr. S. Bradley Burson, Argonne National Laboratories, 9700 South Cass Avenue, Argonne, Illinois 60439. Conference participants met on Friday evening in "birds-of-a-feather" groups. These groups were for those interested in VIDPI, Honeywell computers, a unified braille code for computers, and hardware aids for blind programmers. VIDPI is the acronym for the name of a new organi- zation for blind computer programmers —Visually Impaired Data Processors International. The following members of the Association for Computing Machinery Committee on Professional A.ctivities of the Blind were present at the conference: Committee Chairman Dr. George G. Mallinson Dr. Theodor D. Sterling Dean, School of Graduate Studies Department of Applied Mathematics Western Michigan University and Computer Science Kalamazoo, Michigan 49001 Washington University St. Louis, Missouri 63130 Mr. David E.

  • What Is Braille
    Search Braille was first developed about 1820 by a young Frenchman named Louis Braille. He created Braille by modifying a system of night writing which was intended for use on board ships. He did this work as a very young man and had it complete by the time he was about 18. He and his friends at the school for the blind he attended found that reading and writing dots was much faster than reading raised print letters which could not be written by hand at all. The development of this system by young Louis Braille is now recognized as the most important single development in making it possible for the blind to get a good education. It took more than a century, however, before people would accept Braille as an excellent way for the blind to read and write. Even today many people underestimate the effectiveness of Braille. While tapes and records are enjoyable, Braille is essential for note taking and helpful for studying such things as math, spelling, and foreign languages. Experienced Braille readers, however, read Braille at speeds comparable to print readers--200 to 400 words a minute. Such Braille readers say that the only limitation of Braille is that there isn't enough material available. Braille consists of arrangements of dots which make up letters of the alphabet, numbers and punctuation marks. The basic Braille symbol is called the Braille cell and consists of six dots arranged in the formation of a rectangle, three dots high and two across. Other symbols consist of only some of these six dots.

Obviously our children do not grow up to exhibit all these traits, but most of them do well enough with the skills and attributes we do manage to impart to them.

  • Expanding Information Access Through Data-Driven Design
    ©Copyright 2018 Danielle Bragg Expanding Information Access through Data-Driven Design Danielle Bragg A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Richard Ladner, Chair Alan Borning Katharina Reinecke Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Abstract Expanding Information Access through Data-Driven Design Danielle Bragg Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Richard Ladner Computer Science & Engineering Computer scientists have made progress on many problems in information access: curating large datasets, developing machine learning and computer vision, building extensive networks, and designing powerful interfaces and graphics. However, we sometimes fail to fully leverage these modern techniques, especially when building systems inclusive of people with disabilities (who total a billion worldwide [168], and nearly one in five in the U.S. [26]). For example, visual graphics and small text may exclude people with visual impairments, and text-based resources like search engines and text editors may not fully support people using unwritten sign languages. In this dissertation, I argue that if we are willing to break with traditional modes of information access, we can leverage modern computing and design techniques from computer graphics, crowdsourcing, topic modeling, and participatory design to greatly improve and enrich access. This dissertation demonstrates this potential

  • Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics, 2010
    Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics, 2010 Developed as a Joint Project of the Braille Authority of North America and the Canadian Braille Authority L'Autorité Canadienne du Braille Published by The Braille Authority of North America ©2011 by The Braille Authority of North America All rights reserved. This material may be downloaded and printed, but not altered or sold. The mission and purpose of the Braille Authority of North America are to assure literacy for tactile readers through the standardization of braille and/or tactile graphics. BANA promotes and facilitates the use, teaching, and production of braille. It publishes rules, interprets, and renders opinions pertaining to braille in all existing codes. It deals with codes now in existence or to be developed in the future, in collaboration with other countries using English braille. In exercising its function and authority, BANA considers the effects of its decisions on other existing braille codes and formats; the ease of production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.

  • Braille in Mathematics Education
    Masters Thesis Information Sciences Radboud University Nijmegen Braille in Mathematics Education Marc Bitter April 4, 2013 Supervisors IK183 Prof.Dr.Ir. Theo van der Weide Dr. Henny van der Meijden Abstract This research project aimed to make improvements to the way blind learners in the Netherlands use mathematics in an educational context. As part of this research, con- textual research in the field of cognition, braille, education, and mathematics was con- ducted. In order to compare representations of mathematics in braille, various braille codes were compared according to set criteria. Finally, four Dutch mathematics curricula were compared in terms of cognitive complexity of the mathematical formulas required for the respective curriculum. For this research, two main research methods were used. A literature study was conducted for contextual information regarding cognitive aspects, historic information on braille, and the education system in the Netherlands. Interviews with experts in the field of mathematics education and braille were held to relate the contextual findings to practical issues, and to understand why certain decisions were made in the past. The main finding in terms of cognitive aspects, involves the limitation of tactile and auditory senses and the impact these limitations have on textual aspects of mathematics. Besides graphical content, the representation of mathematical formulas was found to be extremely difficult for blind learners. There are two main ways to express mathematics in braille: using a dedicated braille code containing braille-specific symbols, or using a linear translation of a pseudo-code into braille. Pseudo-codes allow for reading and producing by sighted users as well as blind users, and are the main approach for providing braille material to blind learners in the Netherlands.

It is a summary of my understanding of the problems in this field that may be taken forward to guide those individuals who are concerned about this subject. My education in design has encouraged interest in this field. As a designer I have learnt to be aware of my community and its needs, to detect areas where design can reach out and assist, if not resolve, a problem. Thus began, my search, where I sought to grasp a fuller understanding of the situation by looking at the various mediums that would help better communication. During the project I realized that more often than not work happened in individual pockets which in turn would lead to regionalization of many ideas and opportunities. Data collection got repetitive, which would delay or sometimes even hinder the process.
