Net4Voice - New Technologies for voice-converting in barrier-free learning environment

- Net4Voice project consists in testing voice recognition techniques and methods within learning contexts. The need to support learning process with non traditional technologies derives from an issue of not completely accessible teaching information by users with disabilities in different learning contexts. Students with disabilities, who find note-taking difficult for cognitive, physical or sensory reasons, can benefit from this approach, due to the accessibility to multimedia notes, especially in those regional areas where access to intermediaries, such as sign languages interpreters for deaf, are in short supply or unavailable. The exploitation of interactive technologies facilitates students to learn by doing, receive feedback, and continually refine their understanding. This facilitate the participation in lifelong learning by people with various needs.
