Computers offer valuable opportunities to people with physical disabilities. For example, a computer can allow someone with severe speech and motor-impairment to engage more fully with the world. This paper describes the design of a communication aid for motor-impaired users, who literally use computers as their communication partners. Currently, a low cost interface suitable for different types of motor-impaired users is hardly available. Additionally, the target audience of existing such systems is very much limited. The present work solved these problems by its adaptation mechanism. The adaptation mechanism provides an appropriate interface from an interface bank for each user before start of an interaction. The adaptation mechanism is continued during as well as after the end of interactions to make the system personalized to individual user.
计算机为身体有残疾的人提供了宝贵的机会。例如，计算机可以让有严重言语和运动障碍的人更充分地融入这个世界。本文描述了一种为运动障碍用户设计的通信辅助工具，这些用户实际上是将计算机作为他们的通信伙伴。目前，几乎没有适合不同类型运动障碍用户的低成本接口。此外，现有此类系统的目标受众非常有限。本研究通过其适配机制解决了这些问题。适配机制在每次交互开始前从接口库中为每个用户提供一个合适的接口。在交互过程中和交互结束后，适配机制都会持续运行，以使系统针对每个用户进行个性化定制。
