Towards a More Inclusive World

Enhanced Augmentative and Alternative Communication For People With Disabilities Using AI and NLP

For many people with verbal or cognitive impairments, engaging in conversation can be tiresome and time-consuming, limiting their educational, social, and career opportunities.
Livox is a pictogram-based alternative communication application that empowers people with a wide range of visual and motor impairments to engage in conversations.
This project incorporated a ML and NLP-based classifier to detect specific questions and present the most relevant pictograms to users.
Our newly introduced classifier reduced the time and effort required to communicate by 68.5% and 56.4%, respectively compared to the standard application.
These results show that our work is a step forward towards making the world a more inclusive place for those who are nonverbal and have motor skill challenges.
