Accessibility Wishlist
List anything here that would be a nice to have, but doesn't look like happening in the future, due to necessary outside participation, etc:
- ["UnifiedSpeechSynthesisAPI"]
Hearing and Speech Impairments (Kevin Cole)
- Computer accessability often looks at vision-impairments and mobility-impairments, without giving much thought to deafness and speech pathologies. While I don't have a LOT of ideas about computer tools that would be useful, a few that come to mind are:
- Text-to-Speech (a la Festival, etc, which I see mentioned just above this entry)
- Speech-to-Text (a tougher problem)
- ASCII-to-Baudot and vice versa (Really *-to-Baudot and Baudot-to-*)
- Video-conferencing (mbone, openh323)
