What is Triple Gyrus Core?
Triple Gyrus Core is a data system built from the ground up with accessibility, usability, and international collaboration in mind. More than half a century after programming and data management began their development as fields, modern data formats and programming languages are still largely inaccessible, both to people with disabilities and to people whose knowledge does not fit into the dominant assumptions in those fields.
Triple Gyrus Core was released on the last day of November this year to start making progress toward an accessible, internationalizable, and inclusive computing stack. Version 1 is focused on OCR, pulling data out of tricky file formats like images and scanned PDFs. The format is built for consistency; you can partially mark up a document, then feed it to AI and the AI can correctly create markup that wouldn't otherwise fit, like for the distinct cells of a table.
The major thing that makes Triple Gyrus Core so accessible is its simplicity. It uses only two symbols that are easily recognized by both OCR and assistive technologies: caret and plus sign. It can handle text flowing left to right or right to left and is built using cognitive load principles to reduce reliance on working memory and allow faster creation.
The system has been endorsed by Accessible Me and is in active development on GitHub, with its initial release on Zenodo.
Triple Gyrus Core is in its infancy now, but the goal is for it to become the basis for an accessible computing stack, which has become more important over the last months with accessibility becoming an ISO standard.
