Educational Applications for Blind and Partially Sighted Pupils Based on Speech Technologies for Serbian

The inclusion of persons with disabilities has always represented an important issue. Advancements within the field of computer science have enabled the development of different types of aids, which have significantly improved the quality of life of the disabled. However, for some disabilities, such...
