Abstract
AbstractIn the recent past, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems have been introduced as a means to assist speech impaired persons to interconnect with the environment and to increase their communication skills. Considering this, tablet-PC-based AAC systems are getting ever more popular due to reasons of cost efficiency, portability and social acceptance. However, many existing apps do not fully exploit the software and hardware capabilities of topical devices. Moreover, studies on the capabilities of platform-related development environments (e.g., iOS SDK) – in their current versions – to realize tablet-PC-based AAC systems are missing. In this work, we develop an iPad-based AAC prototype, which considers the technical capacities of the device and is offered as an open source solution.KeywordsAugmented and alternative communicationSpeech impairmentTablet-PCOpen source
