Abstract

The main objective of this work was to conduct an exploratory research on accessibility, characteristics of blind or visually impaired individuals, and screen readers, which have the potential to assist people with these disabilities in interacting with technological devices, as well as tests that can be performed to assess accessibility. During the research, related works were analyzed, addressing various aspects of this topic, providing a theoretical foundation on the subject. The results obtained in the research provided an overview of the related works, highlighting common and different characteristics among them. This information was organized in a comparative framework to enable a clearer and more objective analysis of the studies examined. Considering the results, a test was conducted using a screen reader with the aim of observing its functioning.
