title: Software architecture for improving accessibility to medical text-based information.
abstract: The paper presents a software architecture aiming to improve accessibility to information in specialized texts, with focus on medical texts. This software also addresses other problems related to text accessibility such as vision problems and language problems. It allows text input in any media format (text, image, sound) and outputs the text as digital text or sound, permitting the user to scan the medical papers and listen to the translated and adapted text.
