posted on 2002-01-01, 00:00 authored by Jennifer Mankoff, Anind Dey, Udit Batra, Melody Moore One of the first, most common, and most useful applications that today's computer users access is the World Wide Web (web). One population of users for whom the
web is especially important is those with motor disabilities, because it may enable them to do things that they might not otherwise be able to do: shopping; getting
an education; running a business. This is particularly important for low bandwidth users: users with such limited motor and speech that they can only produce one
or two signals when communicating with a computer. We present requirements for low bandwidth web accessibility, and two tools that address these requirements. The first is a modifified web browser, the second a proxy
that modifies HTML. Both work without requiring web page authors to modify their pages.
