This paper seeks to establish which are the difficulties faced by Latin American and Spanish visually impaired people when interacting with the Internet. One of the biggest problems a handicapped person encounters is that the design and the architecture of pages is not normalised according to different standardisation and accessibility patterns. However, the barriers do not only have to do with the medium itself, but they can also be found in the adaptive tools visually impaired people use in order to access Internet content. These systems, which are provided by several multinational companies, are not in general oriented towards Spanish speakers, who have to cope with both linguistic and socio-cultural barriers. It is taking these needs as a starting point that we constructed an accessibility portal designed to satisfy the needs of Spanish-speaking visually impaired people, which integrates different adaptation features in a natural and efficient way, preventing the user from having to use many different programs in order to do a certain task. Such tool also automatically translates the content of a given page, taking as a basis the different accessibility norms published by different organisations and consortiums.
