IT 관련 산업의 발전에 의한 저변의 확대로 장애우들의 IT 사용 수요가 늘고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IT분야에서 가장 기초적으로 활용되는 E-Mail을 시각 장애우가 활용 하는 데에 불편함이 없도록 하는 이메일 매니저 개발에 관련된 기법에 대해 논하고자 한다. TTS(Text-To Speech : 문자 텍스트를 음성으로 전환하여 들려줌)와 음성키보드(키보드 입력 시 입력한 문자를 음성으로 알려줌) 기능으로 시각 장애우가 이메일을 사용함에 있어 불편함을 느끼지 않도록 하였으며 본 시스템의 TTS 알고리즘은 국어 표준발음법을 참고로 하여 자바로 구현 하였다.

Korean language is to be characterized by the rich vocal sound variation. In order to increase the probability of vocal sound recognition and to provide a natural vocal sound synthesis, a systematic and thorough research into the characteristics of Korean language including its vocal sound changing rules is required. This paper addresses an effective way of vocal sound recognition and synthesis by providing the design and implementation of the Korean vocal sound variation rule. The regulation we followed for the design of the vocal sound variation rule is the Phonetic Standard(Section 30. Chapter 7) of the Korean Orthographic Standards. We have first factor out rules for each regulations, then grouped them into 27 groups for eaeh final-consonant. The Phonological Change Processing System suggested in the paper provides a fast processing ability for vocal sound variation by a single application of the rule. The contents of the process for information augmented to words or the stem of innected words are included in the rules. We believe that the Phonological Change Processing System will facilitate the vocal sound recognition and synthesis by the sentence. Also, this system may be referred as an example for similar research areas.
