Abstract

This paper presents a user-based pilot evaluation with visually-impaired users, which compares three different interaction paradigms when dialing a phone number on a touchscreen device. Our proposal based on the coupling of gesture recognition and vocal synthesis seems to offer users an easy, efficient and pleasurable alternative for entering numbers, without cognitive overload.
