The design of user-centered software is currently experiencing growth because each person possesses different abilities when facing a problem or doing a job. If we now expand the user population to include people with disabilities, we see that the terms ?user-centered? and ?multimodal perception? are very important.In order to improve accessibility, we perform a study in compliance with the recommendations of the ISO 9241-171:2008 (Guidance on software accessibility) in three data sonification software (Sonification Sandbox, MathTrax and xSonify). The results show a need for several modifications in order to maximize compliance. Based on this, a new graphical user interface design is proposed that takes into account the analysis result and the recommendations of the standard.
