Abstract
This paper presents the WebVOX system, for Web page accessibility improvement for persons with reading deficiency. The presented solution addresses peoples with dyslexia, low literacy and reading skills, learning difficulties, visual impaired and color-blind persons and blind persons. Different reading deficiencies were analyzed, concluding the fact that reading problems go beyond anatomic eye functionality. In the context of described solution, different software assistive technologies were presented, both for blind and visual impaired peoples. Were described the functionalities of screen readers, speech synthesis and screen magnifiers; much of these functionalities are implemented in WebVOX. Should be emphasized the fact that proposed solution can improve the Webpage accessibility, but the way these pages are designed and realized should obey the W3C recommendations in order to obtain the full accessibility.
