Various countries around the world now consider Internet access a basic human right (Lucchi, 2011).

Internet accessibility provides users with easier communication, knowledge building, as well as a means

of entertainment. However, certain population groups cannot access Internet technology like everyone

else. Among other disabilities, visual impairment, especially (legal) blindness is a major accessibility

hindrance to various information resources, including paper-based documents, Internet, mobile telephony

as well as traditional TV broadcasting. Such an impairment also leads to problems navigating or traversing

an environment with ease – thus complicating otherwise mundane tasks of everyday life. Challenges

faced by visually impaired are further encumbered with innovating technology, which sometimes enable,

and sometimes prevents equal access.
