Abstract
One aim of this research is to explore how the selection of output modality and information presentation can be used to allow more appropriated access to electronic document by visually impaired persons. This paper shows how multi-modal interfaces can decrease certain difficulties linked with the visual disabilities. At IRIT our work consists in representing and developing multimodal access for the electronic document consultation. A representation space of output modalities is proposed in the goal of defining a multimodal user interface management system.
