Magnus is working on the CSS issues that occur with some Arabic websites – we have recently been running evaluations on a series of important sites to see how prevalent the problem actually is with the poor presentation of our dialog boxes. It is hoped this will be finished by the end of March 2013 Nawar has been working on a new dictionary that will offer users a word list that is more useful for Arabic speakers – it will be based on prefixes and suffixes with root words that may then link with Arabic Wiktionary if it exists and he is hoping to adapt the way the results are presented. Looking to the coming months Arabic Dictionary There is a step by step guide on the ATbar wiki in English and Arabic. Sadly Opera and Internet Explorer do not support a click through ability. If you are using Chrome, Safari and FireFox browsers you will also be able to click through the overlay and even write with most forms. We hope this will help those who have visual stress, find the glare of black on white hard to read as well as those with other specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. There is a choice of colours – cream, pink, pale blue and pale green. A colour overlay plugin that will allow users to read websites with less glare. Magnus has also add another plugin as standard to the Arabic and English toolbars. The return of the text to speech from the server has been reduced from 4 to 2 seconds – we will monitor whether this has an other unforeseen consequences. This additional service comes thanks to Insipio and the work Lars and Magnus carried out over the last few weeks. The English version of the toolbar now has Lucy (F) and Peter (M) and the Arabic voices are now Leila (F) and Mehdi (M). We really would value your input into these thoughts. We have been experimenting with voices on the ATbar as there has been some discussion about using a male voice as this may be more acceptable to some users.

What this spot for updates next week linked to the ATbar desktop app and ATbar TTS. The TalkTyper system uses Speech Recognizer for speech recognition as well as text to speech – the latter uses a very good voice in Arabic – we are still exploring which voice is used but it sounds like Nuance Maged in Arabic. Below is an example of Speech Recognizer in Arabic.

Google has also rolled out speech recognition in Arabic for Android phones Nuance has a choice of Arabic voices for mobile and has added speech recognition but none of our team have been able to test its success rates. The Windows 8 mobile OS has the potential to support more Arabic options and offers translation from OCR although the actual text is still not 100% correct – Spot the problem! It will not really be an acceptable voice where a Nuance or Acapela option is available. The aim is to ship NVDA with the ATbar desktop version and the Arabic eSpeak voice.

More research and thanks to a recent development with Arabic eSpeak we now have a free voice, Testing has shown that the voice needs to be improved but with work on the phonetics in the future this is something that could be done.

Testing the spell checker, text to speech and word prediction. Otherwise all the plugins appear to have worked well in the last few months. We have found some issues with Arabic mis-aligned text at times and there are occasions when the CSS of the website needs to be isolated from the toolbar. Nawar has also been testing the Arabic version as part of our maintenance programme. YouTube video overview of ATbar in Arabic Nawar Halabi has very kindly provided an introductory video of the Arabic version of ATbar and we have uploaded it to YouTube.
