在本文中,我们介绍了最新版本的Sibylle,这是一个AAC系统,允许严重肢体残疾的人使用任何计算机应用程序输入文本,以及编写通过语音合成读出的消息。该系统由一个虚拟键盘组成,该虚拟键盘包括一组允许通过单开关选择过程输入字符或完整单词的小键盘。它还包括一个复杂的单词预测组件,可以为给定的上下文动态计算最合适的单词。该组件是自适应的,也就是说,它随着用户输入的每个文本学习。因此,它会根据用户的语言和当前的交流话题来调整其预测。到目前为止,该系统适用于法语、德语和英语。自2001年以来,早期版本的Sibylle已在一家康复中心(法国克佩佩)使用。
In this article, we describe the latest version of Sibylle, an AAC system that permits persons who have severe physical disabilities to enter text with any computer application, as well as to compose messages to be read out through speech synthesis. The system consists of a virtual keyboard comprising a set of keypads that allow for the entering of characters or full words by a single-switch selection process. It also includes a sophisticated word prediction component which dynamically calculates the most appropriate words for a given context. This component is auto-adaptive, that is, it learns with every text the user enters. It thus adapts its predictions to the user's language and the current topic of communication as well. So far, the system works for French, German and English. Earlier versions of Sibylle have been used since 2001 in a rehabilitation center (Kerpape, France).
