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. ... -
Discrimination and comprehension of synthetic speech by students with visual impairments: The case of similar acoustic patterns
Papadopoulos, K.; Argyropoulos, V. S.; Kouroupetroglou, G. (2008)This study examined the perceptions held by sighted students and students with visual impairments of the intelligibility and comprehensibility of similar acoustic patterns produced by synthetic speech. It determined 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 ... -
Patterns of blind users' hand movements: The case of typographic signals of documents rendered by eight-dot and six-dot braille code
Argyropoulos, V.; Kouroupetroglou, G.; Martos, A.; Nikolaraizi, M.; Chamonikolaou, S. (2014)The main focus of the present study lies on patterns and characteristics of hand movements when participants with blindness receive typographic meta-data (bold and italic) by touch through a braille display. Patterns and ... -
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, ...
