GUIDL IA: An intelligent assistant for aiding visually impaired in using GUIDL

GUIDL (Graphical User Interface Description Language) system has been proposed as an effective aiding technology that enables inclusion of visually impaired computer users into activities of graphical user interface design. GUIDL system implements many aiding concepts that make creation of graphical user interfaces suitable for visually impaired. In order to make GUIDL system even more accessible to visually impaired a GUIDL IA (Intelligent Assistant) is proposed as a mean of providing a more suitable and simpler way of getting help about various parts of GUIDL system. GUIDL IA enables visually impaired to ask questions in the form of natural language compared to browsing through instruction manual which makes getting the right information easier and quicker. GUIDL IA also enables visually impaired to hear the answer through integrated text-to-speech synthesizer that enables more natural pronunciation of given answers. In this paper GUIDL IA is presented and discussed along with the results about its effectives.
