PLEASE READ - POSTING SURVEYS (CORPORATE/SCHOOLS) - QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY? (self.Blind)
submitted by AutoModerator
Many people want to help the blind community by creating new apps or technology. That's awesome! Others are writing stories or making films with blind characters and want to ask a blind person's perspective. That's great, too! This thread is the place where the ones who want to help or learn can connect with the blind and visually impaired people who don't mind answering questions, filling out surveys, or being interviewed. We're putting it in a single, stickied thread for everyone's convenience. Most of the regulars here come for the company. r/Blind is a place where we feel accepted, a place where we fit in with the only other people who understand what life is like for us. It's our place to rant and to celebrate, to vent and to compare notes. It's where we grieve the loss of our eyesight and encourage each other to do our best. We don't come here to answer questions from people who assume we're the blind version of r/AskReddit. Moving all the questions to this thread frees up our sub for the more personal and heartfelt posts.
This is our first week doing this so please be patient if we need to make adjustments.
**How it works:**
If you have a survey for us to fill out or want to set up an interview post the link here. If you're offering compensation for our time please let us know in your post. Some companies (hello, Google) don't allow their employees to post surveys - they require their employees to ask the moderators to post it for them. That's fine, just message the mod team and we'll post your blurb here for you. If you don't have a fancy survey link and just want to ask a question you can post it here.
The beautiful members of r/Blind will DM you and you can discuss your questions with them in private OR they can respond to your message directly in this thread. Any survey request or questions from outsiders posted anywhere except here will be removed so the rest of the sub stays true to its intended purpose.
This post will be reposted weekly - Sundays 5PM Central

I’m an independent researcher and I’m working on a project with a global tech company. My client would like to make more informed decisions about the tools they provide developers, and are particularly keen to chat with developers that identify as low vision or vision impaired.
Participants that qualify will be compensated for their time with a $350 Amazon gift card.
If you’re interested, message me and I’ll send you a link to survey to see if you qualify.

Hi there. I'm doing informal research on screen readers and alt text and would like to incorporate additional perspectives from people who use screen readers regularly. I want to be respectful of your time and openness in sharing your perspective, so really appreciate your time :)
Below I have 2 images, accompanied by generated alt text from Microsoft below each image. After reviewing the alt text, I would love to learn what additional question you might have about each image and why. Note that because this is a comment on the thread, and not a post, I'm unable to embed the actual images in this comment. Instead I've put text that says \[Image 1 here\] and \[Image 2 here\] to represent where the image would be located.
\[Image 1 here\]
Alt text from Microsoft: A picture containing text, building, outdoor, city.
Based on the alt text description, select one further question you would like to know:
\- Option A - Where was this picture taken?
\- Option B - What is in the background of the image?
\- Option C - What type of text is in this image, if there is text?
\- Option D - What action is happening in this image?
\[Image 2 here\]
Alt text from Microsoft: Elephants and zebras near water.
Based on the alt text description, select one further question you would like to know:
\- Option A - Where was this picture taken?
\- Option B - What’s in the background of the image?
\- Option C - What type of text is in this image, if there is text?
\- Option D - What action is happening in this image?
​
Given the 2 images and alt texts, would you be open to commenting with your thoughts on:
* For image 1, based on the alt text, what question would you like to learn more about? Why do you want to ask this question vs the other listed questions?
* For image 2, based on the alt text, what question would you like to learn more about? Why do you want to ask this question vs the other listed questions?
* Are there any other questions you have about the images, given the alt texts you heard?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'll aim to follow up in a bit with the research direction.
Thank you very much!

1 - C, because the text is teased in the description. Is this a meme? A motivational poster? The fact that text is mentioned tells me this picture is an important part of what I'm reading.
2 - D, although I'm much more interested in the text in the first picture. Elephants and zebras aren't natural enemies so I doubt much is going on between them. Still, the picture is included for some reason and I want to understand why.

Still looking for answers?
I would say c for the first one but generally for both all of them can’t pick for the second one. The more information you. Can give me the better.
I just think the image descriptions should be less vague and descriptive. For me I can’t make too much out of that type of blurb about a picture. Seems really very random.

Hi! I'm studying system development. Me and my classmates are writing our examining essay on web- and app development with focus on people with visual impairments.
Right now we're trying to collect data to use in our report, and we've written a survey that we hope the great people here on r/Blind could fill out!
It's not long, and we won't collect any contact information from the participants.
​
If there are any issues with the survey, please let me know and I'll try to fix it! All input is welcome! Thank you!

Access to the survey is denied, it says I need permission from the owner to access it.
MScottIThinkTFNot 3 points 1y ago
That should be fixed now. Thank you for letting me know. Please fill the survey out when you get a chance, and share if you are able.

It's working now, thank you.

Hello, I am an RIT graduate student, studying the accessibility of data visualizations for people with visual disabilities. This survey asks about the method and technology for a blind audience to access a visual graph or chart. It is about 25 questions and 15-20 minutes. At the end of the survey, there's also an optional interview sign-up to talk more about your data visualization experience. Thank you for your time!

Here is a chance to help develop a website that makes it more convenient for the sight-impaired community to connect with doctors.
Clear Access is a website being prototyped by a group of university students to assist people with visual impairments to better communicate with doctors, book appointments, and sign documents. Our goal is to make it as accessible and user-friendly as possible. By answering seven questions in our survey, you will help Clear Access fully understand the challenges people with sight impairments experience when it comes to health care. It shouldn't take too long so if you had the time to fill out the survey it would be greatly appreciated
Here is the link to the survey: $1

Hello,
I am a Purdue student currently enrolled in a class titled Grand Challenges in Accessibility. My class has created a brief survey with questions regarding accessibility for people with disabilities in STEM. We would greatly appreciate it if anyone reading this post could fill out the survey regarding their own experience or regarding someone else's experience of this topic. If you would be open to being interviewed please message me.
Thank you!
