Rapid Message Composition for Large Vocabulary Speech Output Aids: A Review of the Possibilities.

Damper, R. I.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication, v2 n4 p152-59 Nov 1986

Three types of rapid message composition for non-speaking persons, classified according to keyboard, are described: sequential keyboard, "semantic" input through iconic representation, and chord keyboard. The strengths, drawbacks, and potential of each type are discussed for a user population with good keying ability and normal cognitive and linguistic functions. (Author/JW)
