A novel interface solution for those with motor, neurological and articulatory speech disorders
Quadriplegics are individuals with little to no movement in all four limbs and their fingers.
As such, they rely on single-swtich devices to operate technology
However, telephone functions are often time-sensitive (i.e. Carriers will force calls to voicemail after 6 rings), which is too fast for quadriplegics to answer using single-swtich devices
Proposed use of Automatic Speech Recogntiion, specifically Wake-Word detection
Quadriplegics speak slower than those without disordered speech, but they can speak faster than they can use single-switch devices
Train individual users' speech to create custom voice commands (wake-words) to operate telephone services
A demonstration of the single-switch accessible voice web application I independently developed
