Abstract
This paper presents BLIMD, a generic model to represent the process of interaction between blind users (or users with impaired vision) and the computer. This model is based on studies about interfaces for the blind and prototype programs developed at our research lab. Recent advances in graphical interfaces and blind technology are included to get a robust and flexible model. This model has been adopted and approved by the Spanish National Organisation of the Blind
