Abstract

People with impaired mobility, the blind, who have speech difficulties, or who find difficulty in hearing, can become isolated because obtaining information for them from surroundings sometimes is narrow or impossible. It’s possible to improve communication possibilities by providing person with appropriate technological help. We have created predictive communication system for physically disabled persons with speech and language impairments. A very important feature of this communication system is that the program is controlled by one on/off switch. Instead of this switch other alternative input devices, such as head pointer, eye blink registrar, person’s capacity registrar, suck-blow tube, etc, can be used. Also we are working on computer system, the idea of which is to connect all the house equipment into common control communication network.
