Abstract
As visual interfaces become prevalent on home appliances such as LCDs used on remote controllers (RCs), people with visual impairment experienced increased difficulty. Previously, we developed two types of RCs for people with visual impairment, one with voice recognition and the other with numeric keys. We combined these two RCs into a cellphone RC application and evaluated three conditions. The combined condition(using both buttons and voice) took the least task time, and also received the highest score in the evaluative ratings provided by participants.
