Abstract

Now days, due to ease in usage of computers and its supporting accessories, researchers are being motivated towards developing tools for automation of a existing classical system. When a human being has a desire to learn something, generally he is expected to have reading skills and eyesight vision for the same. This can be improved by use of some audio-visual tools. This paper presents a bridging tool and a helping hand for teachers to deal with specially-able persons. An automated reading or talking tutor is presented here a programming language, Java, one of the hit listed languages, in demand in IT industry. A visually less-able person can easily learn and acquire good expertise on the same. This tool is found satisfactory for teachers to provide better knowledge for visually less-able students or learners.
