Abstract
En la actualidad existe una gran cantidad de personas que presentan problemas a la hora de comunicarse mediante texto escrito. Este problema supone un alto riesgo de exclusión social para este grupo de personas al no tener acceso a una forma de comunicación clave como es la escritura. Además esta forma de comunicación ha cobrado mayor relevancia en relación con las nuevas tecnologías.
El objetivo del proyecto se centra por tanto en proporcionar una herramienta que facilite la comunicación de personas que no presentan dificultad en la comunicación escrita con personas que sí lo hacen, realizando la traducción de texto convencional a pictogramas.
Para ello hemos realizado un servicio web que permite su utilización independientemente de la tecnología del cliente que lo solicite, de forma que tenga mayor alcance dentro de la sociedad. Asimismo hemos realizado un cliente Android, escogido por ser una de las tecnologías más extendidas en este ámbito, que se sirve de la funcionalidad de dicho servicio web para llevar a cabo la traducción.
Del mismo modo, hemos llevado a cabo una evaluación de nuestro sistema que corrobora que efectivamente la traducción que proporciona es correcta y altamente adaptada a las necesidades de las personas a las que va dirigida.
Finalmente hemos querido que este proyecto sea de software libre conformando así una herramienta altamente accesible para la sociedad.
Nowadays, there is a significant amount of the population that have problems when communicating through written text. This means that many people are in high risk of social exclusion as they find themselves without access to a key form of communication such as writing. Besides, this form of communication has become more relevant in relation to new technologies. This project, focuses on providing a tool that facilitates communication between people who have difficulty in writing or understanding written text, and people who do not face any issues. Our solution is a tool that translates conventional text to pictograms. We have made a web service that can be used by anyone regardless of each individual, software or device of choice, so that it has greater reach in society. Bearing better access for everybody in mind, Android technology was chosen for being one of the most wide-spread technologies in this field to make our client/app, which uses the functionality of the web service to perform the translation. An evaluation of our system has been carried out, which effectively confirms that the translation is not only accurate but also provides a service tailored to the needs of the people to whom it is addressed. Finally, we wanted to make this project open source thus forming an accessible tool society could benefit from.
