SPONSORED PROJECTS
OKU V4: A Software for Visually Handicapped People Speaking Turkish.
Sponsored by Microsoft Research Ltd. (Contract No: 2003-239)
Funded duration: June, 2003 - June, 2004.
The project involves the design and implementation of a tool (in C++ using Windows APIs) for visually handicapped people speaking Turkish. Using this tool, visually handicapped people are able to read, edit and print documents, browse the internet, and send and receive email messages. Also, as part of this project a text-to-speech (TTS) engine suitable for the Turkish language was designed and developed. Publicly available at http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~guvenir/Oku4/
