Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are used by many different types of people. While almost all AAC users have speech impairments that preclude the use of verbal communication, they may also have varying levels of vision or motor impairments, perhaps due to age or the particular nature of their disorder. Speed, expressiveness, and ease of communication are key factors in choosing an appropriate system; however, there are social considerations that are often overlooked. AAC systems are increasingly being used on mobile devices with smaller screens, in part because ambulatory AAC users may feel uncomfortable carrying around large or unusual machines. DigitCHAT is a prototype AAC system designed for fast and expressive communication by literate AAC users with minimal upper limb motor impairments. DigitCHAT's interface was designed to be used discretely on a mobile phone and supports continuous motion input using a small set of visually separated buttons. |
