Abstract

This paper proposed an application that supports visually impaired users in the community by providing voluntary audio support for readable content. The application, Basirah, allows visually impaired users to post audio request for reading text. Volunteers are able to view these requests and offer their response as recorded audio links. The application is developed for iOS devices and supports requests in English and allows for multi-lingual responses for volunteers. This paper presents Basirah and walks through the analysis, design, and testing phases of development. Preliminary testing was carried out on Basirah, where it has shown promising results and contribution.
