India has an estimated 70 million persons with disabilities who don't have
access to read printed materials due to some form of physical, sensory,
cognitive or other disability. As part of our endeavour to make available
accessible content for persons with disabilities we are developing a
text-to-speech software in 15 languages with support from the Hans
Foundation. The progress made so far in the project can be accessed here
