Characteristics of user interaction with a communication system for the non-vocal using a hierarchically structured
1Electronic Engineering Laboratories, University of Kent, Canterbury, U.K.
Abstract:
This paper describes aspects of a highly flexible communication aid for the non-vocal which, as a principal feature, allows the local specification of a selected communication vocabulary so as to match the requirements of an individual communicator. The paper describes and discusses the structure of a hierarchically configured interface through which this vocabulary specification may be achieved in an efficient and convenient manner, greatly increasing the range of applicability of such a communication aid.
