Enhancement of Usability and Accessibility of Digital Applications
It is crucial to make digital applications easy for users to receive information, understand the content, and manipulate the applications with great user experience.
Digital accessibility can also help persons with disabilities participate in different activities, such as education, economy, and politics. However, to achieve and maintain the usability and accessibility of digital applications, designers and developers have to collaboratively overcome many difficulties, which are time-consuming and error-prone.
Therefore, we focus on investigating procedures that can assist developers in improving the usability and accessibility of digital applications, which include both web applications and mobile applications.
For web applications, the quality deterioration of math content can negatively influence the readability and understandability of posts in math Q\&A sites.
Therefore, this research project focuses on assisting math-related editing in math Q\&A sites such as latexifying formulas, revising LaTeX, and converting the blurred math formula screenshots to LaTeX sequence.
For mobile applications, we analyze the provision of dark mode in real-world Android apps through an empirical study of posts from Stack Overflow and Android app analysis.
