对于上肢残疾人来说，视觉艺术是一项重要的活动，可以表达个性和独立性。他们表现出非凡的耐力，耐心和决心，以适应他们的剩余能力，创造视觉艺术。有显着的优势，数字技术在协助艺术家上肢残疾。副语言语音识别技术已被证明是一种特别有前途的交互模式。尽管有这些好处，上肢残疾人创造视觉艺术的技术支持仍然很少。本文报道了几位上肢残疾艺术家的多个案例研究。这些案例研究说明了他们所面临的斗争是创造性的，也显示了数字技术在帮助这些艺术家的显着优势。一项关于人们使用音量来控制光标移动以在屏幕上绘图的能力的调查也有报道。通过激励、训练和实践，使用体积来控制绘图任务显示出很大的希望。据信，双语言语音具有更广泛的含义，除了帮助上肢残疾的艺术家，例如：残疾人执行任务而不是创造视觉艺术的替代交互模式，手部忙碌环境的替代交互模式以及作为言语障碍者的语音训练系统。
For people with upper limb disabilities visual art is an important activity that allows for expression of individuality and independence. They show remarkable endurance, patience and determination to adapt their remaining capabilities to create visual art. There are significant advantages of digital technologies in assisting artists with upper limb disabilities. Paralinguistic voice recognition technologies have proven to be a particularly promising mode of interaction. Despite these benefits, technological support for people with upper limb disabilities to create visual art is scarce. This paper reports on a number of case studies of several artists with upper limb disabilities. These case studies illustrate the struggles they face to be creative and also show the significant advantages of digital technologies in assisting such artists. An investigation into people’s ability to use the volume of their voice to control cursor movement to create drawings on the screen is also reported. With motivation, training and practise, use of volume to control drawing tasks shows great promise. It is believed that paralinguistic voice has wider implications beyond assisting artists with upper limb disabilities, such as: an alternative mode of interaction for disabled people to perform tasks other than creating visual art, alternative mode of interaction for hands busy environments and as a voice training system for people with speech impairments.
