  • A study on media players from an accessibility perspective

    International Journal of Computer Aided Engineering and Technology, 2023
    Despite the growth of media content on the web, the necessity of a user-agent that renders media content is becoming prominent. Considering the needs of persons with disability, WAI recommended guidelines on how web content is to be specified. Along with user-agents playing a major role in making inaccessible content accessible, the user-agents must ensure the web content must be accessible to all users by providing the requirements through its interface and by communicating with other assistive technologies. In this paper, we have seen the problems for the persons with disabilities. We have studied the media players which are recently developed and in what way they followed the guidelines to make the content accessible to users. We designed an estimated metric based on the requirements identified from the guidelines issued in WAI. Using these metrics, we have calculated the accessibility score of each player and concluded that the most improvement is in video player designs.

  • A Machine Learning-Based Model to Evaluate Readability and Assess Grade Level for the Web Pages
    Muralidhar Pantula, K S Kuppusamy
    Computer Journal, 2022
    Evaluating readability of web documents has gained attention due to several factors such as improving the effectiveness of writing and to reach a wider spectrum of audience. Current practices in this direction follow several statistical measures in evaluating readability of the document. In this paper, we have proposed a machine learning-based model to compute readability of web pages. The minimum educational standards required (grade level) to understand the contents of a web page are also computed. The proposed model classifies the web pages into highly readable, readable or less readable using specified feature set. To classify a web page with the aforementioned categories, we have incorporated the features such as sentence count, word count, syllable count, type-token ratio and lexical ambiguity. To increase the usability of the proposed model, we have developed an accessible browser extension to perform the assessments of every web page loaded into the browser.
  • A metric to assess the readability of video closed captions for the persons with low literacy skills
    Muralidhar Pantula, K S Kuppusamy
    Computer Journal, 2020
    The power of the WWW (World Wide Web) lies in the adoption of multiple types of media, which makes effective communication of content. Videos have emerged into a quick and efficient information delivery channel for users. To make a video accessible to persons with disabilities, several approaches have been proposed, which include various accessibility features such as closed captions and video descriptions. Captioning agencies use English as a primary language for creating captions, which cause problems for persons with low literacy skills. Ambiguity in the video affects the persons with low literacy skills and senior citizens and it leads them to consume more time in identifying/capturing the intended meaning. As the closed captions run along with the video frame, the comprehension is an issue. For predicting the readability assessment of closed captions for persons with low literacy skills, we developed a statistical formula based on the lexical and semantical ambiguity of the context. As a case study, caption files of top 50 English movies (as per IMDB top rated movies chart) were chosen and their readability scores were calculated. In addition, a machine learning model was developed using the ambiguity feature set in assessing the readability score of the closed captions. The result shows, our model is predicting the readability score with an accuracy of 92.6%.
  • Analyzing User Awareness on Security in Android Smartphone Devices

    Today’s Digital World is evolving rapidly and the smartphone usage has became mandatory. People use smartphones to get services like email, education, business, social communication, etc. For each service category, there are plenty of applications (Apps) available in the market. Along with Apps usage, it is obvious that a user need knowledge on securing devices and private data. We analyzed Naive Android Smartphone Users (ASUs) on different Security Areas where awareness is in need to secure the device as well as the data. The responses indicates that majority of the participants have a fear of Malicious Attacks on their private data, business information and financial transactions.
  • AuDIVA: A tool for embedding Audio Descriptions to enhance Video Accessibility for Persons with Visual Impairments

    Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2019
    Inclusion of online videos on a website attracts a large number of audience because of its ease of perception. Even though rendering videos on the web is advantageous, persons with disabilities face difficulties in accessing the content. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) has recommended closed captions for persons with hearing problems and Audio descriptions for the persons with visual problems, to remove the barriers in making the video content accessible. In this paper, we have incorporated a technique called Narrating the scene before the act. With this, persons with visual impairments will get a proper understanding of the context of the scene and they will be in a better position to easily grasp the content. We have designed a tool, entitled AuDIVA (Audio Description Inserter for Video Accessibility) which will insert the audio descriptions before the scene in the video at specified intervals. A survey conducted shows that the technique eases tasks for web developers to provide audio descriptions in the video.
