I'm working on a tool to help people learn data science with screen readers, so please give me feedback! (self.Blind)
submitted by 8saku
Hello, I'm a machine learning engineer with an interest in accessibility for learning data science.
In order to enable people to learn about data science and machine learning using a screen reader, I have created tools that converts graphs into sounds, and also created tutorials that uses the tools, which is available at the following URL. I have also posted a Youtube video of how I use it, so if anyone is interested, I would be happy if you could check it out.
$1
As this is still a prototype project, I am struggling to decide what direction to go in. Therefore, if you have any comments or advice, I would be very happy to receive any. It would be great to know if there are people out there who are interested in learning data science in the first place.

TBH the biggest accessibility problem in data science is that jupyter screen reader support sucks.
Cool idea though! You might consider checking out desmos.com, which has similar accessibility features for sounding out graphs of functions.

I was thinking the same way about accessibility in data science. That's why I decided to use Google Colab in my tutorial, which is a bit better than Jupyter.
On the other hand, it seems that there will be accessibility improvements for Jupyter in the not too distant future. $1
Thanks for letting me know about desmos.com. It's very nice.

Oh I hadn't heard of this, it's excellent that they're addressing accessibility now. I'll look forward to that in the near future.

Hello, i am taking a machine learning course now, i'll check this out. just received the first assignment, about linear regression, didn't know jupyter is not accessible, just knew from the comments here. that is just bad. I hope all things go well for me :D

Thank you for checking it out. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. Good luck with your assignments!

I’m not sure what data science is, can you explain a bit more?
8saku [OP] 2 points 2y ago
Data science is the study of the field of finding knowledge and value by analyzing data.
It is the basis of AI technology, such as Seeing AI.
With the spread of AI technology, the importance of data science is increasing, and in our country, it has been decided that it will be included in compulsory education in the future.
Therefore, I would like to improve accessibility as much as possible in the meantime.

Cool, I’ll take a look at your link :)

I can’t use it, because I don’t have a mouse.

Thank you for trying it.
And I'm sorry I didn't explain in advance that the introduction of the function to check the graph interactively requires a mouse or touchpad.
Of course, it is possible to learn data science without a mouse, and I hope to prepare such a version of the tutorial in the future. Thank you for making me aware of this.
