| Abstract | People with visual impairments face difficulties in accessing visual information displayed on the screens of household appliances and other devices. To address this issue, reading systems have been developed to provide textual information through speech output. However, existing methods can only read aloud the characters displayed on a screen and do not support operations such as navigating menus or handling scrolling text, making such interactions challenging for users with visual impairments. To tackle this problem, Tagawa et al. proposed a reading method capable of handling menu operations and scrolling text. Nevertheless, their approach was limited to a specific device, raising issues of portability to other devices. In this study, we aim to develop a reading system that can be applied to various household appliances in the future. As a first step, we focus on designing a system compatible with multiple 3D printers. To overcome the device-dependency of conventional systems, we modularized the recognition and speech components, enabling flexible switching between different device models. |
