Braillesketch: a Gesture-Based Text Input Method for People with Visual Impairments Mingzhe Li, Mingming Fan, Khai N
Session: Interaction Techniques and Frameworks ASSETS'17, Oct. 29–Nov. 1, 2017, Baltimore, MD, USA BrailleSketch: A Gesture-based Text Input Method for People with Visual Impairments Mingzhe Li, Mingming Fan, Khai N. Truong Department of Computer Science University of Toronto [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT onscreen keyboard with screen reader software, such as Apple’s In this paper, we present BrailleSketch, a gesture-based text input VoiceOver. However, this approach results in a very low text method on touchscreen smartphones for people with visual entry speed [4]. Alternatively, people can use speech recognition impairments. To input a letter with BrailleSketch, a user simply software to input text at a much faster rate [3]. However, speaking sketches a gesture that passes through all dots in the in public places may not always be appropriate and can introduce corresponding Braille code for that letter. BrailleSketch allows privacy concerns. A growing body of research has been exploring users to place their fingers anywhere on the screen to begin a ways to leverage the user’s ability to perform touch and multi- gesture and draw the Braille code in many ways. To encourage touch gesture inputs on mobile devices. For example, BrailleTap users to type faster, BrailleSketch does not provide immediate [9], TypeInBraille [15], Perkinput [4], and BrailleEasy [23] enable letter-level audio feedback but instead provides word-level audio the user to type Braille by performing multiple taps sequentially to feedback. It uses an auto-correction algorithm to correct typing specify the dot codes for the desire letter—this can be time errors. -

The "Miracle Worker" and the Transcendentalist: Annie Sullivan, Franklin Sanborn, and the Education of Helen Keller'
H-Disability Morman on Wagner, 'The "Miracle Worker" and the Transcendentalist: Annie Sullivan, Franklin Sanborn, and the Education of Helen Keller' Review published on Saturday, February 1, 2014 David Wagner. The "Miracle Worker" and the Transcendentalist: Annie Sullivan, Franklin Sanborn, and the Education of Helen Keller. Boulder: Paradigm Publishers, 2012. viii + 171 pp. $140.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-59451-936-9; $33.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-59451-937-6. Reviewed by Edward (Ed) T. Morman (Independent) Published on H-Disability (February, 2014) Commissioned by Iain C. Hutchison A Strong Radical Woman and the Philanthropic Men Who Knew Her Can two people, at least one of whom does not fit neatly into any mold, be used to exemplify contrasting social forces? In this delightful book, David Wagner proposes to do just that with Franklin Benjamin Sanborn and Annie Sullivan Macy, even as he points out the pitfalls of such an approach. The theme of the book is social status and the worldviews that go with it. Disability--Sullivan’s visual impairment and Helen Keller’s deaf-blindness--is responsible for the contacts between Sanborn and Sullivan, but their differences (and commonalities) derive from other sources. Sanborn (1831-1917)--considerably better known in his own time than today--was a younger contemporary of the New England transcendentalists. An admirer of Samuel Gridley Howe (1801-76), Sanborn deeply respected Howe’s work as the first director of the Perkins School for the Blind. Sanborn joined Howe as a member of the “Secret Six” funders of John Brown and, after Brown’s failed 1859 raid at Harper’s Ferry, the two men together avoided arrest by fleeing to Canada. -
Texture Perception in Sighted and Blind Observers
Perception & Psychophysics /989. 45 (I). 49-54 Texture perception in sighted and blind observers MORTON A. HELLER Winston-Salem State University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the utility of visual imagery for texture per ception. In Experiment 1, sighted, early-blind, and late-blind observers made relative smooth ness judgments of abrasive surfaces using active or passive touch. In Experiment 2, subjects com pared vision and touch in the accuracy of smoothness detection, using a broad range of textures, including very fine surfaces. No differences appeared between the sighted and the blind, and it did not matter iftouch were active or passive. Vision and touch showed similar performance with relatively coarse textures, but touch was superior to vision for much finer surface textures. The results were consistent with the notion that visual coding oftactual stimuli is not advantageous (or necessary) for texture perception, since touch may hold advantages for the detection of the smoothness of surfaces. The present study was directed toward an evaluation subjected to tilt. Although the benefits of visual imagery ofthe necessity ofvisual imagery for texture perception. are likely to be pronounced in form perception, it is not Some researchers have claimed that visual images are known whether visualization aids in texture judgments. necessary for tactual perception of form by sighted in One would expect that observers would tend to visual dividuals (e.g., Pick, 1974). There are numerous reports ize for stimulus dimensions in which vision provides su of the benefits of visual imagery for memory in the sighted perior performance, as in form perception. -
Laura Bridgman Laura Bridgman
LAURA DEWEY BRIDGMAN 1829 December 21, Monday: Laura Dewey Bridgman was born physically normal, in Hanover, New Hampshire. 1832 January: Little Laura Dewey Bridgman and her two sisters came down with the scarlet fever. Her sisters died. Laura’s ears and eyes suppurated and her senses of hearing and of sight were eliminated. Her sense of smell, also, was almost entirely removed. The microorganisms in question had themselves a good meal and were ready to move on, leaving behind a little girl who would always need to wear a ribbon across what was left of her eyes, to protect the sensitivities of others: Attending the 12th Church on Chambers Street in Boston with friends, Lydia Jackson of Plymouth, who had herself in 1821 or early 1822 been a victim of the scarlet fever, heard Waldo Emerson preach. HDT WHAT? INDEX LAURA BRIDGMAN LAURA BRIDGMAN 1837 October 12: Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe of the Perkins Institute for the Blind began to teach the alphabet to still-cute little blind, deaf, and mute Laura Bridgman:1 Helen Keller is now Perkins’ best-known deaf-and-blind graduate, but just as famous in her day was Laura Bridgman, who went to the school only five years after it opened. When Dr Howe taught her the use of language it was the first case of its kind recorded. We should think of things of this kind when we read of the atmosphere of hope and excitement then; and when we read Emerson and Thoreau urging their readers to cultivate the self and not to trust to institutions and philanthropies. -

We see him, with Keller and Annie Sullivan, in this photo which was taken during July of 1894. The Library of Congress, which maintains this photo, tells us more: "Alexander Graham Bell with Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan at the meeting of the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf, July 1894, in Chautauqua, N.Y." Click on the image for a better view. We continue here with the remaining summary, and audio chapters, of Helen's book, The Story of My Life. Chapter 12 - As a child of the South, Helen had not experienced snow before the winter of 1889. While in the North, she played outside in the cold weather. Her favorite winter sport was tobagonning - which she was able to do with help. Chapter 13 - Even though she'd made great progress, Helen was frustrated because she could not speak. She'd read about a deaf-blind Norwegian girl, named Ragnhild Kaata, who had learned to do what Helen longed for. At the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, Sarah Fuller worked with her. -

LEXINGTON, KY (February 18, 2014) -- Broadway Live, The Opera House Fund and KentuckyOne Health present THE MIRACLE WORKER at the Lexington Opera House for five performances March 14 – 16. Few stories are as timeless or reveal the courage and resilience of the human spirit as well as THE MIRACLE WORKER. The stirring dramatization of the story of Helen Keller and her tutor Annie Sullivan has been mesmerizing audiences for decades. The Miracle Worker was playwright William Gibson’s second Broadway effort, and his most acclaimed work. His dramatic retelling of the story of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan was initially an Emmy Award-winning teleplay for Playhouse 90. Gibson then adapted it for the stage, where it proved a critical and popular hit, garnering Tony Awards for Gibson, director Arthur Penn, and star Anne Bancroft in 1960. The 1962 film version earned Oscar nominations for Gibson and Penn; its stars, Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, won awards for best actress and best supporting actress, respectively. THE MIRACLE WORKER tells the story of Helen Keller, deaf and blind since infancy, who finds her way into the world of knowledge and understanding with the help of ! (MORE) ! ! Annie Sullivan, her gifted tutor. In some of the most turbulent and emotion-packed scenes ever presented, The Miracle Worker is a story of victory over unbelievable odds – accomplished through conviction, perseverance and love. THE MIRACLE WORKER, produced by Montana Repertory Theatre, has been selected as the “Broadway Buddies” presentation for the 2013-14 season.
