Describe your project :
"Etaha" was founded in 2017 at the University of Jordan as an initiative (called VOICRILL, VOICE +BRAILLE) to address the urgent needs of visually impaired students. The project originated from the challenge these students face each semester in accessing study materials and textbooks necessary for their education. With high printing costs and a growing number of visually impaired students, the university's Braille printing services could not meet the demand, leading to reliance on volunteer readers or audio recordings. Etaha's mission is to remove barriers in the educational process for individuals with disabilities using technology, providing equal access to knowledge and integrating them into society. As well as any one who want to hear the book instead of reading. Our objectives include: 1. Establishing a comprehensive audio library tailored for visually impaired students, offering educational resources for all academic levels and ensuring long-term availability. The library also includes cultural, recreational, and educational content to enhance general knowledge and leisure reading to them and to anyone interested 2. Etaha aims to deliver its services to all those in need worldwide using a cross-border platform 3.Promoting societal integration of individuals with disabilities through awareness programs, leveraging their skills and talents Etaha aims to use technology to build a more inclusive and knowledgeable society where everyone has equal rights and opportunities
