> Hello,
> 
> My name is Khaled Albusays, and I am a Ph.D. student in Computing and
> Information Sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
> 
> I am investigating how to improve the experience of computer programmers
> who are blind.
> 
> In particular, I am studying three different audio interaction techniques
> to provide sound effects in order to help screen-reader users understand
> the indentation level when they are navigating through software code. We
> are looking for participants for a 70-minute interview (in-person or
> remote) about possible ways to interact with various sound effects via a
> web-based prototype.
> 
> Participants would receive $40 cash or gift card for participating in this
> study.
> 
> Participants are eligible if they answer Yes to the following five
> questions:
> 
>   1. Do you use a screen reader when operating a computer?
>   2. Are you a blind individual (someone who does not use sight) who is
>   age 18 and older?
>   3. Do you have at least two years of computer programming experience and
>   regularly engage in programming for school, work, or hobby?
>   4. Are you familiar with the Python programming language and JavaScript?
>   5. Are you comfortable communicating in spoken English and do not have
>   other sensory or motor disabilities, e.g. hearing impairment?
> 
> If you answer Yes to all five of these questions and would like more
> information about participating, please contact me at
> auditory.research11 at gmail.com so that I can answer any questions, confirm
> your eligibility, provide you with a study document, and schedule an
> interview appointment.
> 
> If you happen to know people who fit the study profile, please help us
> reach them. We are working to make programming more accessible to
> screen-reader users, and we cannot propose solutions without
> understanding their needs. Therefore, we need your help.
> 
> Thank you for your time. I look forward to having you in this study.
