When good morning does not come
A new interface to make speech generating devices more accessible
view this project


What if you can no longer speak? How do you make it clear that you're hungry? How do you express your feelings when you're angry, or, very simply, how do you say good morning to your best friend, your neighbour, or the person sitting next to you on the train?
For many people with an intellectual or physical disability, this is a daily obstacle. When good morning does not come sheds new light on existing speech computers. This new speech computer can be operated both via the screen and through a tangible interface, where the materiality, shape and colour of each object refer to the screen to form words and sentences. The computer puts into words what is on the tip of the tongue and gives people a voice.
