| Description | One of the major services for students with hearing impairment is the speech-to-text reporting service, when a reporter records the speech (a lecture or a seminar in a university environment or even any similar event outside of a university environment) as a text on a computer by means of a simultaneous typing, and several students reading the report on one common screen at the same time. As students with visual impairment are concerned, one of the major problems is the accessibility of the visual documents and other materials presented by a lecturer via a presentation screen. Distance to the presentation screen as well as light conditions or the presentation layout creates readability barriers and obstructs the students to perceive presented information. |
