is a freely available software program that visually tracks the movement of facial features to allow individuals with motor impairments to control a computer mouse. The goal of this case study was to provide an evaluation of as a computer access method as part of a multiple modality communication system for an individual with cerebral palsy. The participant was asked to reproduce sentences and respond to ethical dilemmas for language sampling. Tasks were completed using natural speech and an AAC solution consisting of paired with an orthographic selection interface and speech synthesis. The participant completed a questionnaire for satisfaction with the introduced assistive technology. resulted in higher intelligibility than natural speech, while natural speech had a higher rate. She used more complex language with her natural speech. The participant rated as at least 3/5 on all measures, including 5/5 on weight and safety. The results of this case study suggest is a promising computer access system for communication supported by the participant's satisfaction rating, expressive language, and synthesized speech production capabilities.
是一款免费的软件程序，它可以直观地跟踪面部特征的运动，使运动障碍者能够控制计算机鼠标。本案例研究的目的是评估作为一种计算机访问方法，作为脑瘫患者多模式通信系统的一部分。要求参与者用自然语言重复句子并对伦理困境做出反应，以进行语言抽样。任务是使用自然语言和由与正字法选择界面和语音合成配对的 AAC 解决方案完成的。参与者完成了一份对引入的辅助技术的满意度问卷。与自然语言相比，语音合成的清晰度更高，而自然语言的语速更快。她用自然语言表达了更复杂的语言。参与者在所有指标上的评分都至少为 3/5，包括在权重和安全性方面的 5/5 评分。本案例研究的结果表明，是一种有前途的计算机访问系统，用于参与者满意度评分、表达性语言和合成语音产生能力支持的通信。
