Math by Voice: Opportunities for People with Motor Disabilities in Writing Mathematics
summary
Presents results from the Polin lab’s “Matematica a Voce” project, which develops an Italian-language speech dictation tool for writing mathematical expressions to help people with upper-limb motor disabilities. Describes challenges in automatic recognition of mathematical language and a first prototype that lets users dictate and process mathematical expressions by voice.
