Text and Audio Framework for an Effective Mathematical Symbols’ Visualization for Blind Students
Article No.: 96, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
There is no denying with the fact that the vision impaired candidates/blind candidates were allocated to explicit instructive settings depending on their impairment. India's schooling framework rebuilt in 2020 brought some major and crucial changes in the curriculum, including the absorption of a language of comprehensive training in approach drives. The instructive encounters of visually impaired/vision-weakened individuals, the elements that impacted these encounters and how these aided or blocked their future odds were the critical focal point of the review and execution of new methods on which this research is based. The blind students or the visually impaired are dependent on two senses, the touch sense and the auditory sense, for their academics and their daily activities. During Pandemic-2019, the importance of auditory sense becomes much more important than the touch sense for the visually impaired people. Online studies for blind students especially subjects like mathematics and science emerged as a big challenge for the society. The researchers need to find effective solution to teach blind students through audio and visual aids. This paper focus on the framework for the effective mathematical symbols visualisation and has been designed to assist students and the teaching staff in text as well as audio format.
