Abstract

Mobile devices can be used as assistive technologies as they help improve the quality of life of people with visual impairments (PVI). Despite the advantages of mobile devices, it is necessary to overcome some challenges regarding the difficulties of interacting of these users with the operating system of these devices. This is important for the use of this technology to reach a greater number of the visually impaired. Therefore, this study aimed to perform an interface design and the development of an application. It automatically adapts the Android® operating system according to the accessibility preferences of the visually impaired through voice commands. These preferences were validated in previous studies. With the help of computational tools and tests with PVI, it was possible to create the prototype of the application interface and to know the improvements to be made. The developed application showed potential to be a useful tool for the visually impaired, also bringing specific benefits of using the voice command to partially impaired people.

为视障人士配置和适配Android操作系统的应用程序

移动设备可以作为辅助技术使用，因为它们有助于改善视力障碍患者的生活质量。尽管移动设备具有优势，但这些用户与这些设备的操作系统交互的困难是有必要克服的一些挑战。这对于使用这项技术来接触更多的视障人士是很重要的。因此，本研究旨在进行介面设计与应用程式开发。根据视障人士的无障碍偏好，通过语音指令自动适配Android®操作系统。这些偏好在之前的研究中得到了证实。在计算工具和PVI测试的帮助下，可以创建应用程序接口的原型并了解要进行的改进。开发的应用程序显示出成为视障人士的有用工具的潜力，也为部分残疾人士带来使用语音命令的具体好处。
