这项研究探讨了AAC应用程序Converser的功效，该应用程序使用自然语言处理来协助沟通。Converser使用说话伙伴的语音识别来预测上下文适当的话语。本文报告了从Converser疗效的实验评估中收集的主观数据（参见Wisenburn和Higginbotham，关于Converser和客观结果的完整描述）。Converser在两个通信任务（会话和面试任务）在两个条件下进行了评估：一个简单的字母板没有Converser（仅阿尔法条件），和一个相同的董事会与Converser（阿尔法Converser条件）。主观数据通过评分问卷和书面评论收集。程序用户在alpha-Converser条件下的通信速度更快。程序用户对质量的评分，以及演讲伙伴对速度和质量的评分，在两种情况下没有差异;但是，参与者对Converser的评论是积极的。
This research explores the efficacy of an AAC application, Converser, that uses natural language processing to assist in communication. Converser uses speech recognition of the speaking partner to predict contextually appropriate utterances. This article reports on the subjective data gathered from an experimental evaluation of Converser's efficacy (see Wisenburn and Higginbotham, for a full description of Converser and the objective results). Converser was evaluated in two communication tasks (a Conversation and an Interview task) under two conditions: a simple alphabet board without Converser (alpha-only condition), and an identical board with Converser (alpha-Converser condition). Subjective data was gathered through rating questionnaires and written comments. Program users rated the speed of communication faster in the alpha-Converser condition. Program user ratings of quality, and speaking partner ratings of speed and quality, showed no difference between the two conditions; however, the participant comments about Converser were positive.
