TableView: Enabling Eficient Access to Web Data Records for Screen-Magnifier Users.People with visual impairments typically rely on screen-magnifier assistive technology to interact with webpages.  To address this issue, we designed and developed TableView, a browser extension that leverages a state-of-the art information extraction method to automatically identify and extract data records and their attributes in a webpage, and subsequently presents them to a user in a compactly arranged tabular format that needs significantly less screen space compared to that currently occupied by these items in the page.  This way, TableView is able to pack more items within the magnifier focus, thereby reducing the overall content area for panning, and hence making it easy for screen-magnifier users to compare different items before making their selections.  A user study with 16 low vision participants showed that with TableView, the time spent on panning the data records in webpages was significantly reduced by 72.9% (avg.) compared to that with just a screen magnifier, and 66.5% compared to that with a screen magnifier using a space compaction method.
