Hi,

If you want a major challenge. Then something that I feel would be excellent on 
the IOS device is a program that will allow someone to review organisation 
charts, network diagrams, and the like.

How would this work?

1. every graphical picture is an object.
2. When you move to the object it reads out an description.
3. You can either move around the screen with your fingers or use the 
left/right swipe movements to move between objects.
4. If you move off an object, then you get a audio sound.
5. New graphic objects can be added plus description.
6. Part of the description would be:

a) Name of the object. Such as diamond 
B) Any explanation information in the object with focus would be read out.
C) Announcing what other objects are connected to this object.


The sighted person sees it graphically while the blind person can build up an 
understanding of the diagram. An example might make this clearer.

Imagine you have a network diagram of 4 routers in a shape of a square. The 
focus is on the first router. Router 1 would say:

Router 1object (upper left hand corner).
Serial1 link object on right. 56k  speed
Ethernet 1object on bottom. 10mbps  speed
Name: r1 - 3650 Cisco 

When you move to the Serial link object it would say:

serial 1link
router1 object on left  r1 - 3650 cisco s1/1
router2 object on right. 3560 Cisco s1/1 
56k speed 


You are adding descriptive text properties to the objects. You could use x/y 
position to identify object position of the top and bottom corners. If the 
object over laps, then you report this. This is how an object would know if an 
object is connected to one of its sides by sharing the same border values.

I have seen something like this with VB6 and Jaws. So I know it can be done. 
This would make an fantastic tool for Business and computer professionals. Such 
as flow charts, UML diagrams, etc. 

If you want to talk in more depth. Drop me a line.


As I stated, it is a major task.
