Problem Description:
We aim to develop an integrated web based educational system. It has facilities for Multilingual Text Summarization, digital lecture board, online handwriting recognition and Speech to text and text to speech facilities. It is useful not only for the students but also for the teachers as well. It will accelerate the learning process by providing educational tools. Users can communicate with each other in real-time using the conferencing tools. If they require the summary of any text, it can be generated using the Multilingual Summarizer. Moreover, the notes that are written by hand can be converted into digital text using the hand writing recognition tool. The speech to text and the text to speech module will open new modes of learning for the students.
 
Example Scenarios:
Users chat using the conference utility
The user will logon using the username and password chosen at the time of registering. Then there will be allotted a “room” but the user can change it based on his/her preference, depending upon the subject or the discussion he wishes to join. Now, he can communicate with his peers. The facilities provided in the chatting tool are -:
 
Text exchange: This facility is fairly common in any chatting software and is the basic mode of communication.
Nominal Costs: The use of multiple low-power transmitters in place of a single high-power one results in cutting down the costs substantially.
Summarization of Data
The software has facilities to summarize data. Currently 4 languages are supported – Hindi, English, Gujarati and Urdu. The approach is language independent and can be used for many more languages. The following steps are followed-:
 
The user selects the language of the document
The parameters are set but the user may change them
Then the summary button is clicked and a short, brief or very brief summary can be generated based on requirement.
 
Technologies used:
. NET 3.0, IIS Web server, MS Speech API (SAPI), Tablet SDK (for recognition in Tablets)
