Abstract
One of the priority directions of society progress at the present time is increasing the degree of participation of all citizens in society, first and foremost – citizens with special physical or mental characteristics. Today we can’t evaluate the role of computer tools; therefore, special attention in the issue of inclusion should be given for people with visual impairments, including people with color blindness. In this paper, we analyzed software for people with complete or partial blindness and color blindness according to the following scheme: type of software, functions, additional features, developer campaign. So, for people with total or partial blindness the following software is considered: JAWS and NVDA (voice to text on-screen buttons, menus, text documents, etc...), Magnus (zooms in). For people with color blindness, the applications for browsers are considered: NoCoffee (simulates visual impairment), WhatColor, Digital Color Meter, Digital Colorimeter (determine the color value of the selected pixel on the screen in the color system). Among the software, a web application for converting color schemes of the site for people with color blindness is highlighted (to get started, download the archive with all HTML and CSS files of the site). At this time, the application handles only color styles in CSS files. There are some examples of applications’ work in the article. It was concluded that the number and functionality of the software in this direction are insufficient. As a continuation of this study, we highlighted the expansion of the capabilities of a web application for adapting the color design of a site through the implementation of color conversion of images and color conversion of textures.
