This article describes the process followed to test software, the result of the first stage of an investigation, which aims to be a support tool for people with visual disabilities to improve their experience in learning mathematics. An analysis is made of the current situation in the country and the world of people with disabilities who wish to continue their studies at a high school or higher level, but who have found as main obstacles not having enough bibliography in Braille, or teachers not They have the means to generate content that visually impaired students can use in the same way as their classmates. Now with the Covid-19 pandemic there was a rebound in the use of educational platforms and distance education, leaving aside people with visual disabilities. We present the results of surveys applied to people with visual disabilities who participated using the software to evaluate their experience as users and their opinions to improve interaction with it. The objective of this study is to make people with visual disabilities feel included in regular educational environments, reducing the barriers that they may encounter in the teaching-learning process in the classroom, and converting them into inclusive classrooms.
This research allows to have an overview of the different technologies that can be used to benefit people with visual disabilities. In the association "Sentir con los ojos del corazón" located in Tehuacán, Puebla, México, people with visual disabilities are served who do not have the technological tools available to understand their environment, such as restaurant menus, signs on doors, reading a book and any setting that contains a text, making life difficult in a world where most texts are oriented towards visual people. There are few applications for people with visual disabilities that allow them to improve their lives in the different areas in which they operate. Therefore, it is proposed to design a mobile application that interacts with a virtual assistant to translate the images into text to speech through optical character recognition (OCR), allowing them to function in different educational, work, social environments, among others. This project allows the Inclusion of people with visual disabilities to improve the quality of life using applications for mobile devices and to be self-sufficient in their daily life, later managing to translate in different languages, with different intensities and tone of voice, using different platforms.
