免費語音鍵盤

2009-05-23T02:36:00.000-07:00

重灌狂人是國內知名部落客，幾乎每天都會撰寫一、二則新文章，主要介紹的是關於資訊或網路的新工具、訊息及動態。

最近重灌狂人發表幾則關於語音鍵盤與語音合成的文章，對一些弱視、盲胞或喜歡用聽的人士很有幫助，因此將部分內容節錄在此。

[Sounding Keyboard and Mouse 鍵盤、滑鼠音效發聲器（盲人打字、自動發音工具）]
重點：...

...這軟體的功能主要是讓鍵盤與滑鼠的每個操作與動作都可以發出音效，不管是按下鍵盤上的任何一個按鍵，往上或往下滾動滑鼠滾輪、按滑鼠左鍵或右鍵，通通都會出現各種不同的特殊音效。...
...可以下載TTS相關檔案後再勾選「Read Word」跟「Read Sentence」等功能，讓我們邊打字、讓電腦邊念出英文。當然，如果你想透過內建的發音引擎或自訂各種按鍵音效來把這軟體改造成「盲人打字機」一樣也可以，每打一個字就自動念出來，也是相當實用！...

[台灣工研院研發「中文文字轉語音合成系統」，好玩！]
重點：...

...他的主要功能就是可以幫我們將輸入進去的中文文字轉成真人發音的語音檔，我們可以直接貼上一段中文或英文的文字，按下〔PLAY〕按鈕後，馬上可以下載一個WAV的音樂檔，按下播放後會自動朗誦剛剛貼上的文字內容。...
...目前提供cTTS、iTTS跟mTTS三種引擎，都各有不同特色，另外還有男生、女生與小蘿莉的發音可選擇。（其實我也不知道這是不是很久以前的東西，很好玩就是了） ...

簡介：

Access+Ability = Accessibility. Positive attitude and positive change are what Access Ability is all about. For background, I am a former supervisor with the Texas prison system, medically retired following a 13-year career. In 1993, I was blinded in an auto accident at age 31. Since that life-changing event, I have gone back to college and earned an AAS (Criminal Justice), BS (Behavior Science), and MA (Clinical Psychology). During grad school, I worked for 3 years in the university’s DSS office as a graduate assistant to the coordinator. I also worked most recently as Coordinator of DSS at a Texas community college. I also have gained experience as a public speaker on a variety of topics. The central theme in all these subjects has been attitude. Mine is a positive one, and I am a person who will work for change in that direction. I am a man who happens to be blind, not a blind man. That is my personal distinction in attitude. However, I believe it is one which could serve a broad population when applied in the world of Disability Support Services.

Access Technologists Higher Education Network

屬性：組織
作者： Cynthia D. Waddell, J.D.
簡介：

In Martin v. Metropolitan Atlanta Transportation Authority (MARTA), six plaintiffs filed an ADA Title II complaint in 2001 outlining a long list of ADA violations including the problem that the agency failed to make information accessible to people with disabilities on their web site. Three plaintiffs were blind, one had cerebral palsy and required a wheelchair for mobility and two plaintiffs were quadriplegics who required wheelchairs for mobility. The Federal District Court in Georgia found that the website was not accessible and violated the ADA. This is significant for higher education entities covered under Title II of the ADA because MARTA is the first case to hold that ADA Title II entities must have accessible web sites (read the decision at http://www.gand.uscourts.gov/documents/1001cv3255TWTinj.pdf [PDF]).

We also now have guidance published in 2003 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Disability Rights Section, entitled Accessibility of State and Local Government Websites to People with Disabilities at http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/websites2.htm. The guidance reminds us that entities covered under the ADA and Section 504 are required to "provide qualified individuals with disabilities equal access to their programs, services, or activities unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of their programs, services, or activities or would impose an undue burden."

This equal access obligation concerning website content applies to higher education ADA Title II entities and is consistent with a previous policy letter by USDOJ in 1996. In that instance, the USDOJ responded to an inquiry from Senator Harkin about websites on behalf of a web designer and lawyer. See policy letter at http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/foia/tal712.txt.

Even if the higher education entity is not covered under ADA Title II, it is most likely covered under the Section 504 requirements for accessible websites. The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), enforces regulations implementing Section 504 in addition to its enforcement of ADA Title II in public colleges, universities and graduate and professional schools. The U.S. Department of Education has repeatedly stated through complaint resolution agreements and correspondence that higher education institutions covered by the ADA and Section 504 must make their information accessible on the Internet since communications must be as effective for students with disabilities as that provided to others (see OCR RESOLUTION 09-05-2206 at http://www.icdri.org/legal/sjsu.htm).

屬性：研究組織網站

簡介：

首屆研討會全文上網。CBI獲美國國家科學基金贊助成立，各家IT配合度很高。

November 29 - December 1, 2006
Hotel Andra, Seattle

The Web Accessibility Capacity Building Institute (CBI) was funded by the National Science Foundation (cooperative agreement #0227995) through The Northwest Alliance for Access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (AccessSTEM), which is directed by DO-IT at the University of Washington. The purpose of the CBI was to identify accessibility problems and solutions related to emerging web applications and the technologies used to create them as well as strategies that lead to systemic change.

The ultimate goal of AccessSTEM is to increase the successful participation of people with disabilities in STEM careers. To reach this goal, it is critical that students with disabilities have full access to the software and information used in their educational programs. Higher education institutions are exploring and beginning to utilize rich media technologies to improve functionality and usability of both academic and administrative web services, but by doing so they may risk excluding students and employees with disabilities. It is critical that accessibility be addressed early in the development and deployment of web applications, including those that utilize emerging technologies such as AJAX, Flex, and Flash.

Participants at the CBI included representatives from the World Wide Consortium (W3C), IBM, Google, Yahoo, Adobe, and GW Micro, as well as 27 web managers and programmers from 11 colleges and universities, primarily from the Northwest region of the United States.

網頁：無障礙數位學習平台 ATutor
屬性：數位學習平台、免費
作者：Adaptive Technology Resource Centre

簡介：

What is ATutor?

ATutor is an Open Source Web-based Learning Content Management System (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind। Administrators can install or update ATutor in minutes, develop custom templates to give ATutor a new look, and easily extend its functionality with feature modules. Educators can quickly assemble, package, and redistribute Web-based instructional content, easily retrieve and import prepackaged content, and conduct their courses online. Students learn in an adaptive learning environment.

Why ATutor?

ATutor is the first inclusive LCMS, complying with the W3C WCAG 1.0 accessibility specifications at the AA+ level, allowing access to all potential learners, instructors, and administrators, including those with disabilities who may be accessing the system using assistive technologies. Conformance with W3C XHTML 1.0 specifications ensures that ATutor is presented consistently in any standards compliant technology.

ATutor has also adopted the IMS/SCORM Content Packaging specifications, allowing content developers to create reusable content that can be swapped between different e-learning systems. Content created in other IMS or SCORM comformant systems can be imported into ATutor, and visa versa. ATutor also includes a SCORM 1.2 Runtime Environment (LMS RTE3) for playing and managing SCORM based Sharable Content Objects (SCOs).

ATutor's base in Open Source technology makes it a cost effective tool for both small and large organizations presenting their instructional materials on the Web, or delivering fully independent online courses. Comprehensive help is available through the documentation, through a number of support services, or through the public forums. Full language support is available through the ATutor Translation Site.

簡介：
This page is a compilation of resources for anyone involved at any level to create more accessible open learning, online learning, distance education, distance learning, or eLearning opportunities. Incorporating foundations of accessible and usable principles for digital environments or digitally based information helps all students and faculty learn more effectively. We can then truly choose our own learning styles and content will eventually become device and CIT [Computer Information Technology] independent.

You may also want to look at our web page of conference handouts. Some of the presentations done by Karen McCall are on universal instructional design and digital document access.

Although this isn't a complete list of resources, hopefully it provides you with a good starting point. If you have a good resource related to accessible distributed education, please send it to us!

There is a new report from the United Nations called "Right to Education Project " that is worth considering. It expands the horizon of accessibility.

There is a web site if you are interested in how someone with Retinitis Pigmentosa is viewing the world and your eLearning content. This is an inaccessible Flash movie on a web page that does not include basic W3C guidelines for accessibility so it is a really good learning tool for what not to do!

2.2 - Ensure that foreground and background color combinations provide sufficient contrast when viewed by someone having color deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen.
2.2, continued.
3.1 - When an appropriate markup language exists, use markup rather than images to convey information.
3.2 - Create documents that validate to published formal grammars.
3.3 - Use style sheets to control layout and presentation.
3.3, continued.
3.4 - Use relative rather than absolute units in markup language attribute values and style sheet property values.
3.5 - Use header elements to convey logical structure and use them according to specification.
3.5, continued

屬性：網頁
作者：維基
簡介：
Web accessibility refers to the practice of making Web pages accessible to people using a wide range of user agent software and devices, not just standard Web browsers. This is especially important for people with disabilities such as visual impairment. In order to access the Web, some users require special software or devices in addition to a standard web browser, or specially designed web browsers. Design for accessibility is a sub-category of good design for usability.

簡介：

Table of contents

00. The access manifesto: A declaration of what accessibility is and should be: “The true reason to design for accessibility is greed. Quite simply, I want it all, and so should you. Give us everything you’ve got. Give us everything there is to give” (2002.11.10)
01. About this book: Inapplicable to an HTML version, hence not provided
02. Why bother?: Why make Websites accessible? Well, why not? Common myths exploded, and active reasons to engage in Web accessibility provided (2002.12.02)
03. How do disabled people use computers?: The right (as opposed to “correct”) terms to use in discussing disabled people. Screen readers and other adaptive technology
04. What is media access?: Web accessibility is merely the latest form of media access to come down the pike. Learn your history
05. The structure of accessible pages: Web accessibility relies on standards. Learn the importance of valid structured HTML
06. The image problem: Reason in itself to buy this book: The fullest explanation of how to make online images accessible yet written, with dozens of special cases explained
07. Text and links: Text is the most accessible format there is, but some reasonable care must nonetheless be taken
08. Navigation: For a mobility-impaired person (and, to a lesser extent, for a blind person), moving around within Websites is tedious. Learn how to ease the tedium
09. Type and colour: Colourblindness explicated. In this chapter, what little you need to do to ensure readable onscreen type is laid out in black and white, as it were
10. Tables and frames: Tables prompt eye-gouging hissyfits among accessibility advocates and Web designers of all stripes, whether oldschool or avant-garde. Both sides are saddled with myths and both argue in large part from ideology. Let’s do a reality check, shall we?
11. Stylesheets: We are told that stylesheets hold tremendous untapped power in accessible Web design. Could it be almost completely untrue?
12. Forms and interaction: Getting around inside Web forms
13. Multimedia: Near and dear to my heart, a full discussion of captioning and audio description of multimedia (with illustrations!)
14. Certification and testing: You may be required to assert that your Website is accessible – and prove it. Here’s how
15. Future dreams: The current state of the art barely qualifies as an “art.” What do we need for Websites to be truly and elegantly accessible?
Appendix A. Accessibility and the law: Is accessibility legally required? In some cases, yes. Read case history and precedent
Appendix B. Language codes: How to specify languages in Websites
Colophon: The making of Building Accessible Websites
Bibliography: For further reading

屬性：專家部落格
簡介：

Specialising in improving the web-presence of your business on the web by delivering standards-compliant and accessible web solutions.

Although the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act has legally encouraged business' websites to adhere to accessibility guidelines (e.g. W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines); we believe that accessibility is an opportunity of opening a business to new markets. In a slow economy building a website that can cater for a bigger audience with no significant additional expense is both an advantage to the business and its customers.
