Does crowdsourced transcription data increase accessibility for blind and low vision users?
Many crowdsourcing and citizen science projects are conducted collaboratively by galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs) and research teams, and result in transcription data that could be helpful to blind and low vision users. Through usability and accessibility testing with blind and low vision scholarly users, we identify changes to GLAM systems and data sharing that can increase crowdsourcing, citizen science, and GLAM data discovery and utility for many blind and low vision users.
