Abstract :
Experimental testing of a prototype knowledge-based message generation system (KMGS) is discussed. The test was conducted to better understand the potential of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in the development of a nonvocal communication device. The communication rate of the system with respect to user´s motor ability, system´s scanning tolerance, and the use of both fixed statistical information and dynamic speech information are examined. Test results and discussions are presented
