Abstract

Standard software engineering methods are not directly applicable to nonvisual user inter- faces due to the mismatch of user interfaces of developers and users. We have developed tools to visualize the nonvisual presentation and the nonvisual interaction. This requires to apply software interfaces as used by screen readers to collect data about widgets.
