Patent number: 10001900Abstract: A screen reader application for visually impaired users suppresses unwanted content that is output by Braille or text-to-speech. The invention accesses, but does not modify, the document object model of the web page and enumerates web page elements for the end user to either hide or skip to. The end user selections are saved as rules which may be applied according to various levels of scope include web page specific, site specific or web-wide. A screen magnification application for visually impaired users automatically sets the visual focus and magnification level on a web page element according to end-user selection.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Freedom Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Robert Gallo, Glen Gordon

Patent number: 9483470Abstract: A document navigation tool that automatically navigates a document based on previous input from the user. The document navigation tool is utilized each time a page loads. The method recognizes user behavior on pages using patterns, which are based on four criterion: location, frequency, consistency, and scope. If the user has visited the page previously and has established a pattern, the method automatically focuses on the portion of the page indicated by the pattern, e.g. the location on a web page of the link clicked by the user in the user's last three visits to the page. If the user has not visited the page previously, the method logs the events that occur during this visit to the page.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2012Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Freedom Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Robert Gallo, Glen Gordon
