Abstract

Children with ASD or ADHD are having a hard time learning and understanding, and there’s no perfect education system [1][2]. However, audios and animations can improve their reading effectiveness. This paper designs an application to have animated characters talking with audio based on the text using Optical Character Recognition, text to speech, and Natural Language Processing.
