Performance evaluation of sonification concept for dyslexia

Sonification is merely a new research field. It is defined as the representation of data or information using non-speech sound. Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that causes a person who has dyslexia to have problems in reading, writing, spelling or manipulating numbers even though they hav...
