In the thesis, the challenges faced by students with reading difficulties, such as visual impairments and dyslexia, when using digital textbooks are discussed. Despite the advantages, such as accessibility and interactivity, barriers often arise in accessing learning materials, which affects their academic success.
As a solution to improve accessibility, the use of text-to-speech (TTS) technology was explored, enabling students to listen to textbooks and thus facilitate understanding of the content. For this purpose, a ScreenReader system was developed, which supports the Slovenian language and offers customizable options to enhance the user experience.
The developed prototype system for an informatics course textbook utilizes TTS technology to convert text into speech. This allows students more intuitive access to the learning material and contributes to a more accessible and inclusive learning environment.
