Research has observed benefits from providing lexical and syntactic approaches to Automatic Text Simplification (ATS) to Deaf and Hard-of-hearing (DHH) readers. However, little research has explored DHH readers’ design preferences and interactions with ...

If we make text more interactive it can augment how we think and communicate and to enable this we need better data and metadata. To better understand this and to introduce this perspective to larger groups I have developed Author & Reader for macOS, ...

Reading is an essential skill that plays a crucial role in education, and it involves mastering various sub-skills, such as decoding tokens and acquiring phonological awareness. Research indicates that practising music in an educational setting can ...

This study examined the validity of early math skills as predictors of literacy skills. Data was collected from students using a home-based kindergarten readiness program. Performance on math domain metrics within a kindergarten readiness program ...

The national reading campaign in China is a strategically important initiative aiming at promoting citizens’ reading literacy. It has been recognized that the need to specifically target at rural areas, which shows lower reading levels compared to ...

Nowadays, learning increasingly involves the usage of search engines and web resources. The related interdisciplinary research field search as learning aims to understand how people learn on the web. Previous work has investigated several feature ...

We explore the design of Marvista—a human-AI collaborative tool that employs a suite of natural language processing models to provide end-to-end support for reading online news articles. Before reading an article, Marvista helps a user plan what to read ...

Readability is an important goal of texts on the web. Manual inspection of readability can be time consuming. Several readability indices have been proposed but their calculations often require text to be copied into specific tools. We therefore ...

Everyone has long recognized smart phones and other mobile technology's capability to enhance cognitive abilities. The majority of studies on smart phones and tablets while driving have focused on distraction, reaction times, and ...

Variable font file technology enables adjusting fonts on scaled axes that can include weight, and grade. While making text bold increases the character width, grade achieves boldness without increasing character width or causing text reflow. Through two ...

Virtual Reality (VR) has gained popularity in educational fields enabling new learning possibilities. In the implementation process, VR could improve learning by increasing positive affective and cognitive processing, whereas VR also could hurt ...

Eye gaze patterns can reveal user attention, reading fluency, corrective responding, and other reading processes, suggesting they can be used to develop automated, real-time assessments of comprehension. However, past work has focused on modeling ...

This research aims to improve the oral retelling skills of primary school third grade students by using augmented reality-based reading environments. The research was carried out on 88 primary school third grade students studying in the city ...

Language develops, is shaped, and transmitted through interaction. Similarly, reading cannot be learned entirely and accurately in isolation from people. Based on the assumption that reading is supported through interactions, this study included ...

Reading is a complex task that can provide valuable information about our perceptual and cognitive processes. To understand how people read, researchers have embraced the use of eye-tracking techniques. Recent research work studies the eye ...

Low-vision users have been accustomed to viewing accessible electronic documents with reflow and responsive layouts that adapt to the user's text size requirements. However, mainstream technologies do not work optimally with image-based documents ...

Reading gives readers intellectual stimuli, elicits their imagination and creativity, and expands their inner world. We introduce the concept to postulate that reading is communication between a reader and a book. An idea is to change a book into ...

We propose machine learning models to recognize state of non-concentration using eye-gaze data to increase the productivity. The experimental results show that Random Forest classifier with a 12 s window can divide the states with an F1-score more than ...

Reading is a complex cognitive process that requires multisensory processing, graphical phonological codification, short- and long-term memory, executive functions, and motor and cognitive responses. Children with reading learning ...

In our age of ubiquitous digital displays, adults often read in short, opportunistic interludes. In this context of Interlude Reading, we consider if manipulating font choice can improve adult readers’ reading outcomes. Our studies normalize font size by ...
