Today's Internet contains a huge amount of resources and most of these resources include graphics. However, blind users fail to take the maximum advantage of these resources due to limitations in technology. Their devices (screen readers, voice synthesizers etc.) can only read textual content and fail miserably where graphics are involved. Therefore a robust method to help blind users understand on-line graphics would be of great benefit to them.
