ANNEX 6

Activities of the Netd@ys VOICE Project during the Netd@ys week
  • presenting the VOICE Project and the possible applications of voice to text, by using the prototype demonstrator for subtitling school lessons for the benefit of deaf students and language lessons for the benefit of any student; the presentations will be held at the schools that are already using the prototype and will be organised as an open doors week addressed to visiting teachers and students from other schools;
  • organising a video-conference among the schools which are already using the prototype and other schools looking for information on the system or wishing to learn how to use it;
  • inserting part of the videoconference in television programs for the schools;
  • preparing a pamphlet, a subtitled videotape and/or a Cd-Rom on school and deafness;
  • organising a Workshop on voice recognition and multimedia applications, intended as training course for teachers, with the collaboration of the provincial super-intendents of public education;
  • spreading the access to the VOICE Forum for providing information on possible applications of voice to text recognition in the schools;
  • facilitating the starting of new contacts via the VOICE Special Interest User Group;
  • encouraging the discussion of the technical and pedagogic aspects of voice to text recognition via the VOICE Discussion Forum;
  • spreading information on the Netd@ys VOICE Help Desk aimed to providing on line help on the use of applications of voice to text recognition in school lessons and on the use of the Internet;
  • stimulating the use of the VOICE Chat Line for exchanging chatting and informal messages on aspects related to the Project and in other fields at schools and also from home; this is particularly interesting for enhancing contacts among deaf students and their hearing friends;
  • co-ordinating a large search on the Internet for finding other similar applications in the world and for getting in touch with schools performing similar tests and with associations of the deaf.
