| Abstract(in English) | When we attend class, we frequently take notes. The method of taking note means writing much information as a paper record. However, we cannot write it down in the notebook if there is no visual feedback information. We propose a pen-based note-taking system, which is called the 'Pen-Talker' on the ultra mobile PCs for blind person. A blind novice user with acquired blindness is able to input Japanese characters directly instead of a keyboard without well training by using the proposed system. The system can recognize 3,126 characters including JIS Level 1 characters. This paper describes system design concept of the pen-based note-taking system.We also investigate a higher recognition engine based on a fusion of an on-line and off-line recognition algorithm, and voice assistance function for blind person. Screen information of a display is given to the user via built-in a screen reader in the system. Our present prototype model can be used as a note pad function using a simple button operation. By applying the additional improvement method, recognition accuracy was 93.3% for eight blind subjects. This is an extremely high score compared with the previous our recognition system's accuracies. Consequently, we confirmed the practical use possibility of the proposed system. |
