As digital books become more popular, providing accessible digital books to people with reading disabilities is imperative. However, there exist various unresolved challenges, such as the limited number of accessible digital books due to the time it takes to create them and the delay in getting newly-published books offered in an accessible format. Therefore we propose a crowd-sourcing system that can distribute tasks such as correcting OCR errors and defining document structure in order to reduce the time required to produce accessible digital books. We present a case study in which we supported the Japanese Braille Library to create digital books in text DAISY format, and describe the effectiveness of our approach and future research agenda in this domain. |
