As part of my graduate thesis, I designed and implemented a typing learning management system for greek keyboard for persons with visual and /or motor disabilities. C#(ASP.Net), HTML5, Bootstrap (CSS), MySQL & Javascript programming languages used in the development phase of this system.
The system is designed to serve users with visual disability and are able to read letter size 18pt, 28 pt as well as totally blind, who are served through hearing description. On top of that, it provides with exercises for persons who can use only one hand, either left or right. It collaborates with screen reading programs as NVDA, Jaws or Supernova. Besides, administrators may choose category for any enrolled user so as the procedure of learning is fruitful.
It is unique for the system the hearing description, its compatibility with screen readers, as well as learning of Greek keyboard. In the market, there are similar systems that cost, they do not serve either motor or visual disabilities, as they do not provide the users with personalized exercises on keyboard use accordingly the user’s needs.
The system provides with three types of user interface depending on the user’s needs (18pt, 24pt, totally blind) that have been used with three different colorings and the part of the administrator. On top of that, I chose that the application should be released free in the internet, so that users with specialized needs might evaluate the system at the same time.
