Project Reading Ancient Greek: Blindness, School and Research
summary
A project created speech synthesis for Ancient Greek and produced prototypes of concatenative Greek voices, a bilingual Greek–Italian voice, an accessible corpus of school and scientific literature, and accessibility criteria for digital Greek text formats. It also addresses current challenges such as scientific control of AI, management of audio-video formats and archives, and studies school accessibility tools while maintaining the speech synthesis, datasets, platforms, and training for disabled users to use accessibility in education and professional contexts.
