Hello everyone,

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan's Palpable Research Group. I will be conducting a paid usability study with blind and visually impaired participants in San Francisco during June and July to test an audio-tactile crossword puzzle designed on a full-page Braille display. I am seeking participants who are:

* 18 years of age or older
* Visually impaired users of screen readers
* Familiar with the Perkins style braille keyboard
* Local to the Bay Area

This study will take place at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco, California. Participants will go through training and will be tasked to solve the crossword puzzle. For the purpose of data collection, a researcher will observe while participants complete this task, and occasionally asked to describe their approach at the puzzle. Participants will be asked a few questions about their experience of completing the task. The study will take about one and a half hours to complete. All participants will receive $30 for their participation.

If you are interested in participating in this study or have any questions, please contact me, Hrishi, by private message or by email ($1). You may also contact Dr. Sile O'Modhrain (Principal Investigator) at $1.

Thank You
