Auditory universal accessibility of data tables using naturally derived prosody specification
Spiliotopoulos, D.; Xydas, G.; Kouroupetroglou, G.; Argyropoulos, V.; Ikospentaki, K. (2010)Text documents usually embody visually oriented meta-information in the form of complex visual structures, such as tables. The semantics involved in such objects result in poor and ambiguous text-to-speech synthesis. ... -
Braille Reading Accuracy of Students Who Are Visually Impaired: The Effects of Gender, Age at Vision Loss, and Level of Education
Argyropoulos, V.; Papadimitriou, V. (2015)Introduction: The present study assesses the performance of students who are visually impaired (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) in braille reading accuracy and examines potential correlations among the ... -
Discrimination and perception of the acoustic rendition of texts by blind people
Argyropoulos, V.; Papadopoulos, K.; Kouroupetroglou, G.; Xydas, G.; Katsoulis, P. (2007)This paper reports on the results from a series of psychoacoustic experiments in the field of the auditory representation of texts via synthetic speech which comprise similar acoustic patterns so called "paronyms". The ... -
An experimental approach in conceptualizing typographic signals of documents by eight-dot and six-dot braille code
Argyropoulos, V.; Martos, A.; Kouroupetroglou, G.; Chamonikolaou, S.; Nikolaraizi, M. (2014)The main research aim of the present study focuses on issues of reading comprehension, when users with blindness receive typographic meta-data by touch through a braille display. Levels of reading comprehension are ... -

Towards the 8-dot Nemeth Braille code
Martos, A.; Kouroupetroglou, G.; Argyropoulos, V.; Deligiorgi, D. (2014)In this work, a language-independent design methodology for the systematic development of an 8-dot braille code, has been applied to the Nemeth code. First, we set the design principles: compression, intra-similarity, ...
