The Comparative Effect of Using Listening Strategies on Reflective and Impulsive Visually Impaired Learners’ Listening Comprehension
This study aimed to compare the effect of listening strategies, namely, metacognitive, cognitive and social/affective strategies, on impulsive and reflective visually impaired EFL learners’ (VILs) listening comprehension. The participants of the study were 58 male and female VILs at pre-intermediate level within the age range of 12-18 in the west of Iran, Khorram Abad. These participants were s...
متن کاملComprehension of Ultra-fast Speech – Blind vs. "normally Hearing" Persons
This study explores how much speech can be temporally compressed and still understood by blind people who have daily practice with speech synthesis vs. sighted persons without such training. Three text modes were generated (formant synthesis, natural speech with and without pauses). These texts were presented to sighted listeners at rates between 9-14 s/s and to blind listeners between 17-22 s/...
متن کاملMaking Apple computers accessible to blind children
Sensory Aids Foundation engaged in a study examining computer-aided instruction (CAl) with 15 visually impaired students. Off-the-shelf educational software was adapted for use with a speech synthesizer. Students were tutored in typing, spelling, and language skills. The study was conducted for approximately 6 months, and the results were analyzed and are discussed in this paper.
متن کاملTechniques, Perception, and Applications of Time-Compressed Speech
Time-compressed speech can be used in a variety of application areas including teaching, aids to the disabled, and human-computer interfaces. Studies have indicated that listening to teaching materials twice that have been speeded up by a factor of two is more effective than listening to them once at normal speed [Sti69]. Timecompressed speech has been used to speed up message presentation in v...
متن کاملOptical Character Recognition Based Speech Synthesis System Using LabVIEW
Knowledge extraction by just listening to sounds is a distinctive property. Speech signal is more effective means of communication than text because blind and visually impaired persons can also respond to sounds. This paper aims to develop a cost effective, and user friendly optical character recognition (OCR) based speech synthesis system. The OCR based speech synthesis system has been develop...
