GRACES: Modeling made Accessible to Blind Software Engineers
GRACES is a software-based assistive tool that makes Software and System Engineering diagrams and graphical models accessible to blind engineers and software professionals. In particular, the current version of the tool allows blind users to use a screen reader to inspect existent Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams, created by other individuals with mainstream graphical modelling products; as well as to create their own models through a purely textual notation defined in the GRACES tool Domain-Specific Language (DSL), to be further imported by users of graphical modelling tools. The employment of this tool opens the access to highly qualified positions that make a heavy use of such modelling elements.
