AFB is seeking participants for a usability study with Mediavoice to

phones using voice commands and simple gestures. Participants will have 
the opportunity to provide feedback that will help improve the app 
before its launch in the United States.

Participants will have approximately two weeks for usability testing 
(estimated at about ten hours) and other activities, including:

  * A thirty-minute onboarding session with AFB and Mediavoice
  * Approximately 10 hours of usability testing over a two-week period
  * Feedback submitted through a brief form, followed by a thirty-minute
    closeout interview with AFB and Mediavoice

To be eligible, participants must:

  * Be between the ages of 40 and 60 years old
  * Be blind or have low vision
  * Currently use an Android smartphone
  * Reside in the United States
  * Be able to participate in sessions remotely via video call from home
  * Be comfortable trying tasks on their own without sighted assistance

Eligible applicants will be contacted for a brief screening call. Six 
participants will be selected to take part in the study. Participants 
who complete all study activities will receive a $250 Amazon gift card 
as compensation for their time.
