Prosodic aids to structural analysis of conversational speech
ICASSP '86. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005An algorithm for inferring the sentence structure of conversational speech using prosodic information is presented. The fundamental frequency (F0) contour shape, which is the major prosodic information parameter that best represents the structure of a spoken sentence, is analyzed in detail by means of F0 shape approximation with a sequence of linear ...

Modelling conversational pragmatics in communication aids
Journal of Pragmatics, 2003Non-speaking users of communication aids have a range of pragmatic conversational goals. These may be classified broadly as transactional or interactional and in terms of their immediacy or distance. A phrase-creation approach to the design of assistive devices may be well suited to the achievement of some transactional goals.

Evaluation of the content of computer-aided conversations
Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 1995The study reports an experimental evaluation of the content of computer-aided and unaided conversations on the same fairly broad topic (i.e., holidays). The computer-aided conversations involved volunteers and one of the researchers, who simulated a nonspeaking person using an alternative communication system, “TALK” (talk aid using preloaded knowledge)

Sequential dependencies in computer-aided conversation
Journal of Pragmatics, 1994Abstract The structure of computer-aided conversations obtained with a prototype system designed for use by physically handicapped, non-speaking people was investigated. The conversational aid requires speech acts suitable for use in a conversation on a fairly broad topic (e.g. holidays) to be generated by the computer user ahead of time.

Expectations and interpretations of conversations using aided communication
Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders, 2021Background: Reaching mutual understanding can sometimes be challenging in interactions involving communicators using aided communication. This explorative qualitative study offers insights into some of the features of utterance interpretation and meaning negotiation in interactions using graphic communication systems.

Conversational perspectives in a communication aid for non‐vocal people
International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 1996ABSTRACTSA computer‐based text storage and retrieval system (TALK) has recently been developed as a conversation aid for non‐vocal people. To facilitate the rapid retrieval (and synthesised speech output) of stored content, potential utterances on each conversational topic are organised according to three intersecting perspectives. The perspectives are

Conversion of an interim into a definitive speech aid: A predictable approach
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2002In patients with partial or total soft palatectomy, an interim prosthesis generally is inserted as soon as possible after surgery. Over the average postoperative healing period of 3 months, numerous clinical appointments are needed to shape the prosthesis.
