Lecture 3 - Environmental Control & Alternative Access
This document discusses environmental control systems and indirect access options. It defines environmental control systems as technologies that allow disabled people to control equipment in their environment. It describes factors to consider when selecting environmental control technologies, such as the equipment to control, the user's abilities, and available funding. Examples of indirect access options that require an additional switch or scanning device are provided, including switch access and on-screen keyboards. Different types of environmental control units are outlined, including those using AC power, infrared, radio, and ultrasound signals.

Assist tech
This document defines assistive technology as any item, equipment, or product system that helps individuals with disabilities increase, maintain, or improve their functional abilities. Assistive technology includes low to high-tech options and can help with issues like speaking, typing, writing, remembering, seeing, hearing, and learning. Selecting the right assistive technology usually involves professionals developing an Individualized Education Plan to address a student's specific needs. Examples of assistive technology include hearing aids and FM systems for hearing impairments, audio books and optical character recognition for reading, and abbreviation expanders and alternative keyboards for writing.
AAC
AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) refers to methods of communication other than speech that are used to supplement or replace spoken language. This may include gestures, sign language, picture symbols, letter boards, and speech-generating devices. AAC is used by those with disabilities or impairments that impact their ability to communicate verbally. Effective AAC requires considering the individual's needs, abilities, environments, and interaction partners to promote meaningful communication and participation.
Adaptive technology
Adaptive technology refers to equipment or products designed to help people with physical disabilities perform tasks that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. It can take both low-tech and high-tech forms to increase independence. Examples provided include speech output and refreshable Braille displays for the blind, enlarged screens and alternative keyboard layouts for those with low vision or mobility impairments, and word prediction software for learning disabilities. The document outlines types of adaptive technologies that can assist with education, mobility, communication for hearing impairments, and learning disabilities. It closes by quoting Archimedes about technology empowering individuals and references additional resources on adaptive technology.

The document proposes a sign language to multi-language speech converter system. The system uses gesture recognition technology to identify sign language gestures and convert them to text, which is then passed to a text-to-speech processor to output speech in multiple languages such as Hindi or English. The system is intended to help visually impaired, vocally disabled, and aged persons communicate more easily. It detects hand gestures using flex sensors and microcontrollers, encodes the gestures, transmits the data via RF, decodes and converts the gestures to text using a database, and synthesizes speech output through a text-to-speech processor and speaker.

This document discusses assistive technology for communication, specifically for those with speech impairments. It defines speech and speech impairments, then discusses augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems that can supplement or replace speech. AAC choices are determined based on a student's skills and needs, and must be evaluated by professionals. AAC options fall along a technology continuum from no-tech to light-tech to high-tech solutions. Speech language pathologists play a key role in evaluating students, contributing to IEPs, and helping students access AAC systems.
12 Designing Mobile Applications For All: Accessible Contact Manager
Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular and are already the first access technology to information and communication. As these devices are improving with faster processors, better operating systems and other features, they are integrating more technologies and applications, such as e-mail, media player, camera, instant messenger, access to Internet, social networks, etc. However, accessibility has not been part of most of the application and system designs on these platforms. Users are reporting barriers and problems in their access and usage of the mobile devices. This situation is even more critical for the most common mobile phone applications, such as a phone dialler and contact manager or a messengering application, because they allow accessing the core and most fundamental functionality of the mobile devices. To integrate accessibility in mobile devices, it should start focusing on the main and most used applications. In this paper we present a phone dialler and contact manager application that is designed to be used by all users with disabilities. A special emphasis has been placed on users with cognitive impairments and with learning disabilities because they are usually not considered in the application designs. There are several accessibility design principles that are usually taken into account when designing accessible applications; good colour contrast, adjustable font size, search fields, limit the depth of the menus, etc. However there are two basic features that do not receive the same attention and that are basic for users with disabilities, and especially for cognitive impairment users and the elderly: personalization and multimodality. Personalization allows accommodating the application to the differences between individuals. In the case of a phone dialler and contact manager, it does not make sense to offer a user that due to his/her impairment uses the mobile device only to make calls, options of sending SMS/MMS/e-mails messages or even visiting the web site of the selected contact. Very often there are several options that users never utilise but create a lot of confusion to them. If the options that are displayed to the users are configurable, the application can be fully adapted to the user needs and be simplified to match their preferences. It can even give a user with severe cognitive impairment the only option of making a call when a contact is selected. Another basic aspect for developing accessible applications is to provide equivalent alternatives. Contact managers of conventional mobile phones usually provide the possibility of adding images to each contact as an alternative of the textual information of the contact’s name. For cognitive impairment users it would be very useful to include a second alternative via voice information. This way, when a contact is selected the application will reproduce a specific sound that could be the recorded voice of the selected contact (e.g. saying “Hi, do you want to call me”). With this approach users with cognitive impairment perceive the information of the contacts through three different and complementary ways: text, photos and voices, facilitating the users to recognize each contact with minor efforts.

This document presents a study on automatic speech recognition (ASR). It discusses the different types of ASR systems including speaker-dependent, speaker-independent, and speaker-adaptive systems. It also covers the different types of utterances that can be recognized, such as isolated words, connected words, continuous speech, and spontaneous speech. The document then describes the basic phases involved in ASR, including front-end analysis using techniques like pre-emphasis, framing, windowing and feature extraction. It also discusses back-end processing using acoustic and language models to map features to words. Hidden Markov models are presented as a commonly used acoustic modeling technique in ASR systems.

我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
