Abstract
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) includes various communication methods used by people with speech and language impairments, and is often aided by electronic devices such as smartphones or tablets. Since skills and limitations vary for each user, it is possible to create an interface on these electronic devices that would adjust to user’s needs in ways that would significantly improve usability and ease of use. Paper describes e-Accessible service system containing Calibrator and Communicator services. Calibrator measures user’s preferences and limitations regarding user interface through calibration process and calculates UI parameters adapted to the particular user. The parameters are forwarded to the Communicator service, whose main purpose is to supplement speech or writing for people with complex communication needs.
