Desarrollo de una aplicación web para la gestión de pruebas accesibles para personas no videntes

Abstract

In Ecuador and worldwide there are blind people, who can have problems at the moment of taking a test. In the process of taking test, the person evaluated must obtain information of the instructions and content of the test, and transfer their knowledge to it, for further evaluation. Is proposed as a solution, the development of a web application that considers the elements mentioned above, and that uses of the Web Speech API from Google for the synthesis and recognition of the voice. Based on this, three versions of the application were developed. For each version of the application developed, tests were taken, these tests consisted of 5 or 6 questions of civic subject considered as general knowledge, to different groups of people to obtain feedback of the current state of the version of the application, for later changes in the following versions. For the feedback, the results of the tests and a survey taken by the people who participated, were considered. From the results obtained, it was confirmed that it is possible to take tests without using the vision through the different versions of the application.
