dc.description.abstract | This paper explores automated modification of text to make it more accessible for people with dyslexia, a reading disorder affecting a significant percentage of the global population. The modifications are both in terms of changing the appearance of text and simplification of the words, grammar, and length of textual mate- rial. For simplification of text, we built a dataset with original and dyslexia-friendly text verified by human readers that it improve their reading experience by 27% on average. Then we developed a pipeline to generate dyslexia-friendly text automatically using transfer learning. The model learns styles appropriate for dyslexic users and generates dyslexia-friendly text from arbitrary textual data, which is easier for people with dyslexia to read and interpret. | |
