Semi-automatic generation of Arabic digital talking books

Abstract

A very small percentage of books are available in accessible format for people with print disabilities (e.g., people with visual impairment and people with learning disabilities). The authors and publishers of e-books usually do not include certain features to make the e-book accessible. Digital talking books are electronic documents encoded in DAISY format. The purpose of this format is to provide access-for-all to digital information. This paper presents a framework for semiautomatic building of DAISY digital talking books for the Arabic language. The presented framework include: image-to-text converter, context-injector, text-to-audio-generator, and DAISY generator.
