What is it about?
Crossword puzzles are a very popular word game, with high recreational and educational value, which can also be used as mental work-out tools, assisting in the prevention of age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Despite their high value and although users with visual impairments constitute an important market share, there are only a few accessible crossword puzzles. Even these, however, are limited in providing alternative input and output modalities for users with disabilities and do not support equitable use, simplicity, and intuitiveness, especially for blind users. A-Cross, is an accessible crossword puzzle for visually impaired users, aiming to support word solving in a novel and usable way.
