Η Google, along with speech therapist Richard Cave, has developed an experimental Android application designed to provide people with speech problems with a way to communicate so they can express themselves.
Το Look to Speak χρησιμοποιεί τεχνολογία μηχανικής μάθησης και ¨ανάγνωσης” ματιών για να επιτρέπει στους χρήστες να χρησιμοποιούν τα μάτια τους, κοιτάζοντας αριστερά, δεξιά ή πάνω για να επιλέξουν από μια λίστα φράσεων. Το phone transmits the phrases to them vocally. The application also allows the editing of a user's phrases.
Some of the phrases include: Hello, thank you, yes and no.
“As mobile devices are ubiquitous and quite powerful, with technologies such as machine learning, I thought about ways that phones can work alongside assistive technologies. These tools can open up new possibilities," Cave says in one Publication on the Google blog.
Cave believes that Look to Speak could be used as extension of existing mesh technology.
"We do not replace strong auxiliary communications, because they are very functional. Look to Speak is for important soon messages where other ancillary communications cannot provide directly ”.
