The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.



Dear NFB Members,



A team of researchers at the University of Texas is seeking individuals who
are blind or have low vision to participants in a study focused on people's
experiences with image descriptions (captions, alt text, visual question
answers, etc.), and how preferences for image description change based on
context of use.



Participants will engage in a 1.5 hour interview over the phone, and will
be compensated with $30 via Amazon Gift Card. Subsequently, participants
will be invited to participate in short diary study for additional $30.00
Amazon Gift Card.  Participation in this study may contribute to the
development of next generation image description technologies.



To be eligible for this study, one needs to be 18 years or older, legally
blind and use a screen reader whenever accessing computing devices, or have
“low vision” and rely on either a screen magnifier or screen reader
whenever using a computing device.



If interested or for more information, please email Abigale Stangl <
stangl at utexas.edu> or 303-335-0879



Thank you in advance, Abigale Stangl
