Matemática, Computação e Braille: Desafios da Pedagogia, da Semiótica e da Síntese da Fala

Resumo

The construction of computerized systems has allowed the inclusion of students with visual impairment in high school and higher education classrooms. However, speech synthesizers were not ready to read math texts. This work goal is to show the solutions and methodology, based on the adoption of AsciiMath coding, a fast alternative to the use of LaTeX and the provision of a small compiler that takes mathematical expressions and creates sentences that are sonically unambiguous. This study enables, with appropriate tools, a blind student to use the computer to write and read math in an efficient and friendly way
