摘要

Incorporating new technologies into our OCR software for STEM, “InftyReader Online” (IRO) is developed, which is a web site to provide dyslexic students with an innovative online service to convert PDF/PowerPoint contents including STEM into various accessible forms. In IRO, Google Cloud Vision API is adopted as an OCR engine, which enables IRO to recognize multilingual STEM contents covering a wide range of languages. As a new type of accessible books for dyslexic students, “Fixed-layout DAISY” is also developed. Even if the page layout of the original document is very complicated, almost automatic conversion into Fixed-layout DAISY can be carried out. It should be a powerful/effective tool to realize reasonable accommodation in school examinations.
