Abstract

A system and method of displaying content on a computer screen, wherein text (or other content) is formatted as multiple bitmaps, for example, each bitmap corresponding to a word. The bitmaps are resized so that they can be easily seen by someone with impaired vision, for example. If the resizing of the text causes some of it to extend beyond the horizontal boundaries of the display, the text is automatically wrapped to the next line.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention seeks to provide a system and method for assisting visually impaired persons to read. Background technique [0002] Many people do not have ideal vision. There are many tools and technologies designed to help the visually impaired to read text such as displayed on a computer screen. Traditional methods include optical character recognition (OCR) and simple scan-to-magnify (SAM) systems. [0003] OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the use of computers to recognize printed or written text characters. Although there are different methods to achieve OCR, the process usually involves optical scanning of text or images, analyzing the scanned images, and converting character images into character codes commonly used in data processing, such as ASCII codes. [0004] In OCR processing, a scanned image or bitmap is analyzed into light and dark areas in order to recognize each letter or number. When it is recognized as a character, i...
