Helping Individuals with Blindness Hear the Data with Sonification

To facilitate data analysis for individuals with blindness, we are currently working on the development of a sonification system. This system will create an auditory representation of the visual data displayed in the plotting area, allowing users to engage with data through sound.

Please note: The sonification feature is currently undergoing development and testing. In response to valuable feedback received during initial testing, we have temporarily removed the feature to further improve its functionality and user experience. We are committed to refining the feature based on the feedback received and plan to make it available again for testing by teachers and students in the near future.

To get a glimpse of the sonification feature and its potential, please watch the demonstration video below:

 

 

We recognize the importance of providing inclusive data analysis tools for individuals with blindness, and our ongoing development of the sonification system aims to bridge the gap between visual data and auditory representation. By utilizing sound, users with blindness will have a unique and accessible means to explore and analyze data.

We appreciate your patience and support as we work diligently to enhance the sonification feature and make it available for broader testing. We remain committed to fostering inclusivity and empowering learners of all abilities.

If you have any questions or would like to stay updated on the progress of the sonification feature, please reach out to our support team.
