Language and Text-to-Speech technologies for highly accessible language & culture learning

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

This contribution presents the results of the “Speech technology integrated learning modules for Intercultural Dialogue” project. The project objective was to increase the availability and quality of e-learning opportunities for less widely-used and less taught European languages using a user-friendly and highly accessible learning environment. The integration of new Text-to-Speech developments into web-based authoring software for tutorial CALL had a double goal: on the one hand increase the accessibility of e-learning packages, also for learners having difficulty reading (e.g. dyslexic learners) or preferring auditory learning; on the other hand exploiting some didactic possibilities of this technology.
