“…2) Research on textual notation and reliable methods of sound representation in natural languages of mathematical formulae noted in various mathematical notation systems Wongkia, Naruedomkul and Cercone [3] propose i-Math, a screen reader-compatible system for automatic reading of documents containing formulae. Nazemi, Murray and Mohammadi [4] take a similar direction.…”

Although an existing different traditional and modern computer techniques, the realization of technical (mathematics and physical) education of the blind and visually empired students at present time is not an easy task. The problem becomes important at a case when the student is a blind person and a teacher is a sighted one who does not know any assistive techniques such as Braille alphabet, screen readers and screen magnifiers software. A new computer remote education technology such as touchscreen mobile devices or graphically available resources that are usually used to derive an education of normal students makes a big barrier for the blind. The barriers to access for blind students to both electronic educational resources as well as remote services on mathematics and physics resulting from the use of other user interfaces for sighted and blind students. Especially important there are differences in the presentation technologies and ways of editing mathematical formulas and drawings. In the paper, the proposal of solutions to help blind students to learn and perform basic mathematical operations with the help of touch screen mobile devices and the presentation of mathematical drawings using 3D printing technologies are explained. These solutions are part of a larger research project that purpose is to develop a mobile platform supporting mathematical and physical education for the blind by sighted teachers.

“…Due to grammar and semantics these solutions cannot be directly used for other national languages. There are dedicated tools proposed for some national languages, like Slovak [10], Portuguese [20], Chinese [46] or Thai [50]. Moreover, most of the presented systems are developed and tested on relatively simple examples and do not support more complex expressions (see also [2,4,5]).…”

An adaptive and adaptable multipurpose math-to-speech translation system is proposed in the paper. Along with the detailed presentation and design approach for the core math-tospeech translation system, exemplary output and tests are discussed. A scripting extension, providing flexibility of the system and enabling the user to adjust the output translations to his/hers preferences is incorporated into the presented solution. Some unit-tests and adaptable versions of translation rule sets are elaborated and evaluated by means of standard measures of machine translation quality. Designed as a flexible self contained solution, the presented system may be applied for various purposes such as e-learning audio presentation systems, educational tools for non-native speakers or visually impaired people, and may be easily adjusted to different national languages.

“…Synthetic voice is a technology that, among its many uses, allows for more effective communication among speech impaired individuals (Stern, Mullennix, & Yaroslavsky, 2006). Research mainly focuses on the voice effects on impaired users (Loiacono et al, 2013;Grichkovtsova et al, 2012;Wongkia et al, 2012). D'Alessandro (2001,2006) shows that text-to-speech voice should not only be intelligible but also expressive and emotional.…”
