Screen Reading Software for Indian Users: A Challenge

Abstract

A screen reader is a software application that aim to recognize and translate what is being displayed on the screen. This translation is then represented to the user with Text-to-Speech, or a Braille output device. Screen readers are a form of assistive technology (AT) probably useful to people who are blind, visually impaired, learning disabled, or illiterate often in merging with other AT, such as screen magnifiers. Text-to-Speech to the many languages is available or difficult to understand the accent for the language they speak. Indian language Hindi are yet not completely available for the screen reading software [1].The main focus of this paper is to remove difficulty of understanding the language.
