Visually impaired students often face challenges in traditional educational settings that heavily rely on visual aids like slides, graphs, and charts. Existing assistive technologies, such as screen readers, struggle to keep up with the fast-paced nature of lectures, leaving students behind. To address this, we developed a real-time learning platform that generates instant audio descriptions of visual content during lectures.
LLM & Real-Time Processing
The LLM dynamically interprets slide content and visual aids, generating coherent audio descriptions in real-time as lectures progress. With each slide transition, the platform extracts key information, summarizes text, and interprets complex visuals like graphs and charts, converting them into clear audio explanations. This integration provides immediate audio feedback, enabling visually impaired students to follow lecture content seamlessly and without delay
Scalability and Flexibility
The platform is designed for scalability and flexibility, utilizing advanced LLM capabilities to adapt to various subjects and languages, making it suitable for diverse educational settings. It can process text-heavy materials and complex visual aids, providing real-time audio descriptions that support inclusivity in traditional classrooms, remote learning setups, and hybrid formats.
The platform significantly improved accessibility for visually impaired students by providing real-time audio descriptions with minimal delay. Students were able to engage with lecture content alongside their sighted peers, with clear audio interpretations of complex visuals like charts and graphs. This enhanced their comprehension and participation, addressing the limitations of traditional assistive technologies. This platform offers a scalable, flexible solution that promotes an inclusive learning environment, ensuring visually impaired students can fully engage with lectures in real time.
