The growing need in assistive techniques has led to the involvement in the usual devices of intelligent modules to improve and facilitate their use, natural language processing attaining nowadays a high applicability in this domain. The paper discusses first basic methodologies involved in natural language processing like speech recognition, speech synthesis and text processing. Some possible applications are then presented with accent on experimental realization of intelligent modules for assistive devices in the laboratory of our university.
