Development of a digital large print textbook system and an accessible textbook viewing application “UD Browser”

Abstract

In educational situations, it is essential to access printed matter such as textbooks, teaching materials, and study-aid books. However, it may be difficult for some students with disabilities to access printed matter such as textbooks. In this report, I will introduce the background and the current status of the efforts to make accessible textbooks and teaching materials. In addition, I will introduce the development of a digital large print textbook system and an accessible textbook viewing application “UD browser”.
