Abstract

An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based scribe known as L &E Refiner for blind learners is a technology that utilizes natural language processing and machine learning techniques to automatically transcribe lectures, books, and other written materials into audio format. This system is designed to provide an accessible learning experience for blind students, allowing them to easily access and interact with educational content. The AI scribe is able to recognize and understand various forms of text, including handwriting, printed text, and digital documents, and convert them into speech output that blind learners easily comprehend. This technology has the potential to significantly improve the accessibility and inclusion of education for blind individuals.
