Abstract:
We present RefLink, an interface that allows users to analyze the
content of webpages by dynamically linking to an online encyclopedia
such as Wikipedia. Upon opening a webpage, RefLink instantly provides
a list of terms extracted from the webpage and annotates each term by
the number of its occurrences in the page. RefLink uses the
text-to-speech interface to read out the list of terms. The user can
select a term of interest and follow its link to the
encyclopedia. RefLink thus helps the users to perform an informed and
efficient contextual analysis. Initial user testing suggests that
RefLink is a valuable web browsing tool, in particular for people with
motion impairments, because it simplifies the process of obtaining
reference material and performing contextual analysis.
