Talking Dictionaries

Abstract

The talking dictionaries are very useful for blind people; they have many advantages against the printed ones. For example, if we would like to look up for a word, we need to ask for a sighted person’s help, but it is not quite sure that the person near us can speak English. In braille there are only few dictionaries; they would cost a very high price to be printed. They only belong to some English books that are printed. We use the internet and the talking/online dictionaries with the aid of a speech programme named JAWS for Windows.
