title = "Assistive browser for conducting web transactions",
abstract = "People with visual impairments use screen readers to browse the Web. Sequential processing of web pages by screen readers causes information overload, making web browsing time-consuming and strenuous. These problems are further exacerbated in web transactions (e.g.: online shopping), which involve multiple steps spanning several web pages. In this paper we present a lightweight approach for doing Web transactions using non-visual modalities. \textasciitilde{}We describe how analysis of context surrounding the link coupled with a shallow knowledge-base with patterns and keywords can help identify various concepts (e.g.: {"}add to cart{"}, {"}item description{"} , etc.) that are important in web transactions. Our preliminary results show promise that presenting such concepts to the users can reduce information overload and improve their overall browsing experience.",
