 |  The RNIB knows that technology can be both a huge hindrance and a
great help to the blind and partially-sighted community, and part of
their role is to make technology accessible to those with sight
problems. Recently, Mango Swiss was asked to create the website
for SNAPI, a new system which allows partially-sighted users to record
and edit their own preferences for how they would like to view
information on any SNAPI-enabled terminal. The site, which itself
complies with RNIB guidelines on accessibility, is a secure
user-application website built with Ruby on Rails (the language behind
Twitter), that acts as the main portal for the partially-sighted user
to log in and control their preferences, from font size and colour
schemes to audio options. Profile information is then transferred to
the user's travel concession card, allowing them to use the card to
access other SNAP terminals and view sites the way they have chosen. The system is due to go into full production soon, and we are already working on further website development.
