@OneSwitch Sadly not. That looks like a 9 pin din - I imagine Trace centre design of plug. Shout if I can help
The new voice creation tool in iOS and live speech (in-built tts app from any screen) in iOS. My voice is definitely.. clunky .. but bear in mind I recorded this at like 2am in a AirBnB and didn’t want to wake the neighbours. 15 mins recording. willwa.de/2023/07/15/the…

Just released a new build of our RelayKeys stack. RelayKeys allow us to turn any Windows AAC device into a Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse (and to come.. Games controller). You plug a small dongle into the AAC device - pair it with any Bluetooth device - a ... willwa.de/2023/07/11/jus…

Made a tool yesterday to help AAC users translate (& speak) their message to any language. It’s using google translate & TTS but also pyttsx4 which is super neat as it allows us to use offline TTS - using coqui or SAPI github.com/AceCentre/Tran… vid youtube.com/watch?v=c6zSPY…
Nice trip to Wales (Brecon to be exact) the other weekend. Although the mosquito bites here were crazy 📷 cdn.uploads.micro.blog/31227/2023/img…
@PennineCareNHS Nice! @ThinkSmartbox fyi! @AceCentre
Midiblocks is a super neat idea. A block editor to program your gestures . Under the hood it’s using HandsFreeJs which is another wrapper around MediaPipe. Similar to EyeCommander and Project Gameface. Talking of which I’ll just leave this here. Eek. ... willwa.de/2023/06/29/mid…
Project Gameface was announced with fanfare - but the actual experience is something that isn’t very “complete”. There is a ton of issues & installing it is not fun. We made an installer at least which helps.. a bit. (warning: it’s not signed. You ... willwa.de/2023/06/29/pro…
@KenjiTakano4 It takes ages. Like about 4 days for me. Partly because the calculation of locked and plugged in is clearly whack right now. Also make sure you are on the latest beta release. On the second now.
Submitted 8 feedbacks for ios 17. Under the terms of the beta testing you cant share much but I will say this; writing/autocorrect is now AMAZING! and all the personal voice creation is neat. BUT.. still no headmouse under assistivetouch! why?!
Just for fun really - dasher in visionOS. I think this totally needs rethinking for this platform - particularly given the hand detection stuff built into visionOS. (“Must not get distracted.. must not get distracted..” ) cdn.uploads.micro.blog/31227/2023/scr…
From our fab OT student today "So are you telling me my phone can autocorrect but that’s not done on AAC Devices .. and the user always has to select their predictions?." Hmmm. I wonder if I was missing something.. anyone?
I am reviewing the “traffic light” system for AAC by Karen Erickson for our ATU this week. It’s similar to ideas in an Activity & Occupation Analysis - but much more reduced and focused on AAC activities in a day. Redrawn here - maybe too reduced ... willwa.de/2023/06/21/i-a…
What duck are you today? On the rubber duck scale I think I’m feeling a bit of a 4.. (if not on that scale- but maybe a 4 on this page: theatlantic.com/photo/2023/06/… ) cdn.uploads.micro.blog/31227/2023/flb… x.com/tbelmontedu/st…
I've used this Rubber Duck Scale to check in with students multiple times over the past few years, but I have no idea who created it. Anyone have a clue? It has opened up so many great discussions. #edchat
A fascinating couple of papers that Simon Judge notes in his blog about the design and abandonment of AAC systems - “the role of communication aids in an individuals’ communication is subtle and not a simple binary ‘used or not used’”. sjinterface.wordpress.com/2023/06/14/ret…
