Open source technologies for dyslexic pupils.
We describe how Open Source applications can be used to achieve aids for the integration at school of pupils suffering from dyslexia. The experience is based on speech synthesis tools, Festival and MBROLA, and requires a trilingual installation, supporting speech synthesis for Italian, German and English. Work is at present on going within some pilot schools of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen, Italy.
