Voice is the most common means for communication, but some people have difficulties in generating voice due to theircongenital or acquired disorders. Individuals with speech disorders might lose their speaking ability due to hearingimpairment, encephalopathy or cerebral palsy accompanied by motor skill impairments, or autism caused by mental problems. However, they have needs for communication, so some of them use various types of AAC (Augmentative & AlternativeCommunication) devices in order to meet their communication needs. In this paper, a mobile application for literate peoplehaving speech disorder was designed and implemented by developing accurate and fast sentence-completion functions forefficient user interaction. From a user study and the previous study on Korean text-based communication for adults havingdifficulty in speech communication, we identified functionality and usability requirements. Specifically, the user interface withscanning features was designed by considering the users' motor skills in using the touch-screen of a mobile device. Finally,we conducted the usability test for the application. The results of the usability test show that the application is easy to learnand efficient to use in communication with people with speech disorders.
Abstract
Voice is the most common means for communication, but some people have difficulties in generating voice due to theircongenital or acquired disorders.

However, they have needs for communication, so some of them use various types of AAC (Augmentative & AlternativeCommunication) devices in order to meet their communication needs. In this paper, a mobile application for literate peoplehaving speech disorder was designed and implemented by developing accurate and fast sentence-completion functions forefficient user interaction. From a user study and the previous study on Korean text-based communication for adults havingdifficulty in speech communication, we identified functionality and usability requirements.
