Hi,
I'd like to tell you about a new tool we've developed, to make
graphs accessible to blind, deaf-blind and visually impaired people.

The project is called The Accessible Graphs Project and this is our
website: accessiblegraphs.org

Using our tool, you can visualize the graph using sound, speech and
touch, and interactively explore it using the keyboard.
For touch we use a braille display. We use the display as a drawing pad and
draw the graph on it, so you don't actually need to know braille to use it.

You can have a look at this example
<https://accessiblegraphs.org/view/index.html?data=January%09February%09March%09April%09May%09June%09July%09August%09September%09October%09November%09December%0D%0A90%0995%0970%0940%0920%095%090%090%0910%0930%0940%0950&description=Percentage%20of%20rainy%20days%20of%20each%20month%20of%20the%20year&minValue=0&maxValue=95&instrumentType=synthesizer&ttsName=noTts>
for
a graph describing rainy days per month of the year. Note that our tool
works best on Windows with NVDA or Jaws 2019 or later.

If you have data in a spreadsheet like Excel or Google Spreadsheet, you can
copy-paste it into our graph builder
<https://accessiblegraphs.org/builder/index.html>.
If you're interested in finance, we have a page for stock market graphs
<https://accessiblegraphs.org/stockMarket.html> - over 14,000 up-to-date
stocks, indexes, currencies and cryptocurrencies.
If you code in python, you can visualize your lists and dicts using our
python package <https://pypi.org/project/accessible-graphs/>.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks!
Ofer Bartal
The Accessible Graph project
