Informing Flexible Abbreviation Expansion for Users with Motor Disabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present results and conclusions of an initial study, intended to inform the design of a system to automatically reconstruct full sentences from abbreviated typed text. Such a system will reduce the number of keystrokes that cognitively-unimpaired users with motor disabilities need to input in order to communicate in full, rich language. A number of techniques for abbreviating messages have been identified, based on empirical studies of users. These include vowel deletion, phonetic replacement, and word truncation. How such techniques might be used to support users with motor disabilities is considered and further empirical work proposed.

A Probabilistic Flexible Abbreviation Expansion System for Users With Motor Disabilities
In this paper we describe the initial design, training and evaluation of a prototype system enabling the automatic and flexible expansion of an abbreviated, typed text input, into a reconstructed sentence. The system’s target user group is cognitively unimpaired users with motor disabilities, for whom typing can be slow and tiring. It is intended that, by reducing the number of keystrokes requi...
متن کاملA System for Automatic Abbreviation Expansion
A system for automatic abbreviation expansion was developed and tested for use with an AAC device. The system blends several technologies in a process that automatically expands user generated abbreviations while additionally providing spell-checking. Using a series of heuristic rules and a statistical language model, the system combines a series of rule scores and probabilities to rank valid w...
