A university in France experimented with how to use technology to make classroom lectures accessible for Deaf students. They used automated speech recognition software to provide a transcription of the professor’s lecture. A hearing student in the class then reviewed the auto-generated text and corrected any errors. The Deaf or hard of hearing student was then able to read the corrected text on their own computer during the lecture.

Only the abstract and the first few paragraphs of this journal article are available for free to the public. People who have access to a library can inquire if the library can make it available for you. Or the article can be purchased at the link.
