Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the
study of how people interact with computers.
Researchers in the field of HCI both observe the ways in
which humans interact with computers and design

novel ways. The main problem investigated in this study
was that present computers and systems are not very
convenient for visually impaired people. There was no
translator for blind people translating in their local
language, no recording options, poor speech synthesizer
as well as screen reader. The general purpose of this
study was to design an enhanced Human Computer
Interaction (HCI) model for people with visual
impairment for better access to education system in
Rwanda through screen reading. The study investigated
the effects of screen readers, speech synthetizers, sound
