TY - CHAP A1 - Lohmann, Kris A1 - Eichhorn, Ole A1 - Baumann, Timo T1 - Generating Situated Assisting Utterances to Facilitate Tactile-Map Understanding: A Prototype System T2 - Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies (SLPAT), Montreal, Canada, June 7–8, 2012 N2 - Tactile maps are important substitutes for visual maps for blind and visually impaired people and the efficiency of tactile-map reading can largely be improved by giving assisting utterances that make use of spatial language. In this paper, we elaborate earlier ideas for a system that generates such utterances and present a prototype implementation based on a semantic conceptualization of the movements that the map user performs. A worked example shows the plausibility of the solution and the output that the prototype generates given input derived from experimental data.
