An Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) App for People with Communication Disabilities and Older Adults

This app is designed for people with aphasia and older adults who experience difficulty communicating due to word-retrieval impairments. It presents pictorial symbols for individual words, allowing users to select multiple words and express their thoughts as accurate, natural sentences and synthesized speech.
An AI language model recommends appropriate words based on each user’s preferences and context, significantly reducing the number of clicks required for word selection. This enables users to generate spoken sentences of approximately eight words within 20 seconds.
