Human-factors aspects of designing computer voice output systems as communication aids for the disabled

Microprocessors and Microsystems, 1984
Abstract Possible ways of meeting the user's needs when designing communication aids with synthetic voice output are discussed. The points raised evolved from a case study of the development of microcomputer based systems which the blind people can use to read page-oriented text.

Telecad—a television communication aid for the disabled

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1979
A communication aid is described that enables up to four severely physically disabled people to write via a television screen. The equipment is designed for use in a classroom situation and allows a conversation to take place between these people under the control of the users themselves. The equipment can be operated by single, double or triple switch

Communication aid for speech disabled people using Morse codification

Proceedings of the Second Joint 24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society] [Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2002
A synthetic voice aid for speech disabled people is presented in this work. The system is based on the Morse code, given through four keys. A PIC was used to detect and decode Morse code as well as to make the translation to ASCII code. The data processing was performed by an MC68HC11 microcontroller.

Some interface issues in developing intelligent communication aids for people with disabilities

Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Intelligent user interfaces - IUI '97, 1997
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is the field of study concerned with providing devices and techniques to augment the communicative ability of a person whose disability makes it difficult to speak in an understandable fashion. For several years, we have been applying natural language processing techniques to the field of AAC in order to

Working Memory Demands of Aided Augmentative and Alternative Communication for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2013
When speech is not functional to meet some or all of an individual's communication needs, aided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are often implemented. Although aided AAC systems offer some advantages over speech, they also impose some unique demands, especially on working memory, which is commonly defined as the cognitive ...

Development of Communication Aid Device for Disabled Persons Using Corneal Surface Reflection Image

Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Graphics and Signal Processing, 2018
Improving quality of life (QOL) has become an important issue for patients with neurological diseases such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and SMA (spinal atrophy). At the same time, it is indispensable to secure a communication device that displays its own intention, and various interfaces have been proposed.

EyeAssist: A communication aid through gaze tracking for patients with neuro-motor disabilities

2017 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops), 2017
The paper presents EyeAssist, a low cost, user friendly communication aid developed specifically for individuals suffering from neuro-motor problems. Existing gaze based typing systems encounter problems of unintentional key presses, extensive calibration process and inbuilt noise of eye trackers.

An implementation of an eye-blink-based communication aid for people with severe disabilities

2008 International Conference on Audio, Language and Image Processing, 2008
This paper presents an implementation of a low-cost vision-based computer interface which allows people with severe disabilities to use eye blinks to access computers and communicate with other persons. Our communication aid requires only one low-cost Web camera and a personal computer.

Psychometric properties of Psychopathology checklists for Adults with Intellectual Disability (P-AID) on a community sample of adults with intellectual disability

Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2008
The DC-LD is a new classification system providing operationalized diagnostic criteria in recognition of lacking applicability of standard psychiatric criteria for adults with intellectual disability. This study attempts to evaluate internal consistency, inter-rater reliability and factor structure of the Psychopathology Checklists for Adults with ...

Examining Issues of Aided Communication Display and Navigational Strategies for Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2010
Gestural mode and graphic mode augmentative communication systems offer viable options for young communicators with cognitive and physical disabilities that preclude speech or result in speech that has insufficient intelligibility to be understood by a range of communicative partners.
