Personalization of Visual Characters and Text-to-Speech (TTS) to Support Learning in Students With Reading Difficulties
Sponsor: IRCCS Eugenio Medea
Summary
Previous research has shown the importance of font type, size and spacing to facilitate text reading in dyslexia. A special automatized procedure was designed to select the most favorable parameters for both text visualization and text-to-speech (TTS) conversion to be used by students with reading difficulties. The validation of its outcomes will be carried out through a systematic comparison of the use of the personalized versus standard fonts and voices in reading and writing tests.
