Abstract

U ovom radu proučeno je kako napraviti da Python program bude pristupačan osobama s oštećenjem vida kroz implementaciju tehnologija poput računalnog prepoznavanja govora i računalne sinteze govora u samom kodu programa. Ponajprije je utvrđeno koje su mogućnosti trenutno dostupne slabovidnim i slijepim osobama pri korištenju Pythona i programa izrađenih u Pythonu. Zatim se definiralo računalno prepoznavanja govora, računalna sinteza govora i druge tehnologije odabrane za istraživanje. U idućem koraku je demonstrirana implementacija odabranih tehnologija na primjeru igre u stilu potapanja brodova kroz opis postupka i priložene snimke zaslona. Nakon toga su predstavljeni i analizirani rezultati evaluacije programa od strane slabovidnih i slijepih ljudi koji su bili voljni sudjelovati u istraživanju. U zaključku je rezimirano sve što se predstavilo u ovom radu zajedno s osobnim osvrtom na odabranu temu.

Abstract (english)

This paper has studied how to make a Python program accessible to visually impaired people through the implementation of technologies such as computer speech recognition and computer speech synthesis in the program code itself. First of all, it was determined what possibilities are currently available to visually impaired and blind people when using Python and programs created in Python. Then computer speech recognition, computer speech synthesis and other technologies selected for research were defined. In the next step, the implementation of selected technologies was demonstrated on the example of a game in the style of sinking ships through a description of the procedure and attached screenshots. After that, the results of the evaluation of the program by visually impaired and blind people who were willing to participate in the research were presented and analyzed. In the conclusion, everything presented in this thesis is summarized together with a personal review of the selected topic.
