Audio/screen readable outputs for PS data and visualizations

[yeisenberg]

Brief description of problem/feature

Limited capacity to consume the data and visualizations from PS in a screen readable way. Suggestion based on conversations with people attending PS lectures that there could be ways of having outputs that describe some of the findings. While it is clear that it would be not be possible to use screen readers to do missions/collect data, there are a number of ways to have outputs that describe the results of data collection.

Potential solution(s)

Some ideas could be:

1. At a basic level, this could be a text description of the summary of labels for an area- total labels, number of each, miles audited etc.
2. Audio or textual descriptions of the label maps. These could be done by humans and at a specified point, a user could add description of the maps to the site. Or might be neat if there were ways of automating the descriptions of the maps based on screen reader friendly toggles of the filters for specific labels. As in if user just has on the labels for high severe curb ramps, the system could describe the number, pattern and geographic distribution of the data.
3. Or could be neat if there might be a screen reader friendly interface for entering a route and getting a result that read out-loud the labels both good and bad.
4. Based on our workshops, people do still want to add their own data and perhaps there could be a simple form for them to do that, by uploading a photo or adding a geo-tagged note.
