Method and system for providing an index to linked sites on a web page for individuals with visual disabilities

摘要

A system and method in accordance with the present invention allows blind and visually impaired users to quickly identify links to relevant material when "viewing" web pages that consist primarily of either plain text or images. By generating an aural or visual index to the links on the page being "viewed", blind and visually impaired users can quickly jump to interesting sites that are linked from the current page without having to wait for the entire page to be voiced by a screen reader application.
