| Project Objective |
|
The objective of this project is to design a testing application
for the blind or visually impaired student, based on text to
speech and speech to text technology. This application will
promote a better teacher/student relationship in the classroom.
Text to speech and speech to text should be web based and easy
accessible.
|
| Abstract |
|
Technology
is the key in providing an alternative for blind students in
secondary education. Currently, there are problems with
existing technology at the university level which do not provide
a web based speech to text and text to speech academic testing
application. The software that has been evaluated produced very
low results. Each piece of software had some qualities, but
overall did not produce the desired result. With this in mind,
the priority is to develop an application to handle these
issues, which blind students are facing everyday.
|
| Project Results |
|
The expected results stemming from this project will result in a web based speech to text and text to speech application for providing online academic test for blind students. This application will be tested thoroughly to provide a working product that will prove invaluable to blind students and professors in traditional classroom settings. It will improve the quality of education that a blind person can receive and promote an equal playing ground for the blind. |
