We are a group of accessibility researchers in the Computer Science &
Engineering Department at the University of Washington. We have
created the iOS game DigiTaps to evaluate new accessible text entry
methods. The game will include a notice of informed consent so you can
make sure that you want to participate in the study before you start
playing. This study is completely voluntary. You may choose to stop
playing or to delete the game at any time.
Participant requirements:
Participants must be at least 18 years old. Our research is targeted
at people who are blind or low vision, so we encourage all blind and
low vision people to participate. However, sighted people may
participate as well.
