| Abstract | Reading documents is a process which is strongly driven by visual impressions. This is even more the case when the document of interest is not only a linear text but rather a hypertext where links to other document parts are realized as highlighted or coloured text. Since blind people are unable to perceive this visual information there is a special need to enable them to navigate through such a non-linear document. In this paper we describe a set of new functions to enhance hypertext systems in order to ensure their accessibility by blind people. We figure out functions that are necessary to step through a hypertext document as well as some status report functions to give access to information that is usually presented visually in common hypertext systems.From our goal to set up an office workspace in a concrete application it becomes clear that we do not only want to enable a blind person to read hypertext-documents but moreover, it must be possible to edit hypertext documents in an easy-to-use on-line fashion. In addition to conventional text processing systems this means that we have to provide effective methods to build and to edit links. Furthermore, we integrate document analysis techniques to build a bridge between paper documents and braille output devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
