Electronic newspapers are now becoming available via wide-area computer networks, such as the Internet. Unfortunately, the Windows-based graphical user interface of the client programs makes it difficult for visually impaired people to use such services. Furthermore, few visually impaired people have a PC. The AUDIOMAT project was designed to provide a reading system for the visually impaired, thus giving this community in the Campania region of southern Italy the opportunity to read their local newspaper. In a pilot trial, three blind subjects used the AUDIOMAT system daily for two months. Despite some minor technical problems the system performed well and a wider validation phase is now planned.
