Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a tablet application to support persons with disabilities, especially those with hearing disabilities and developmental disorders, in interacting with other people and in understanding and preparing for transitions between activities. Our tablet application is characterized by showing topics of a conversation or activities within a schedule with a sequence of pictures. It recognizes words spoken by communication partners and search for the pictures corresponding to the recognized words. Users can make a brief sentence and a schedule by arranging such pictures in a sequence.
We conducted an experiment in collaboration with Nonprofit Organization in Sendai. The results suggested that our tablet application could be effectively used when users talk about their daily lives and when they show today's activities. However, there is room for further development. We will make concerted efforts to resolve the problem.
