Election in the Dark
310,000 visually challenged have difficulty in voting. They use screen reader software to “vocalize” information from the internet everyday. However, this software vocalizes the text information on the HTML file, but not image files. Nevertheless, the official information about the candidate is required to be posted online as a image PDF file. The visually challenged were unable to obtain necessary candidates information. We launched a microsite containing comprehensive candidate information which is completely readable through vocalization software to help the visually challenged people.
