Experimental testing of an AI-based communication aid

Abstract

Experimental testing of a prototype knowledge-based message generation system (KMGS) is discussed. The test was conducted to better understand the potential of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in the development of a nonvocal communication device. The communication rate of the system with respect to user's motor ability, system's scanning tolerance, and the use of both fixed statistical information and dynamic speech information are examined. Test results and discussions are presented.<>
