Two different auditory interfaces for word processing application intended to be used by visually impaired computer users are proposed in this paper. They are both used for interaction through hierarchical menus and they use spatial sounds as menu commands. Spatial sounds are used to increase the information flow between the user and the application since, in this way, multiple sources (i. e. menu commands) can be played and perceived simultaneously. The user study with 16 test subjects confirmed high accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed interfaces.
