Speak Faster

Mission

To double the effective rate of communications for eye gaze communicators from an average of 12 words per minute to 24 words per minute

Vision

Create an open source research platform & publish results of experiments

Quantitatively validate concepts through metrics enabled experimentation

Perform experiments with known best practices of AAC design

Combine the results into an open reference platform for eye gaze speech

Initially scoped to English language speakers

Experiments

• Lower letter selection error rates through evaluating and selecting best eye gaze sensor technology
• Lower letter selection error rates through adaptive noise suppression (e.g. dynamically adjusting noise suppression based on observing signal jitter)
• Lower letter selection error rates through language prediction models that apply the probability of letter selection to keyboard signal
• Word prediction / expansion using personalized dictionaries
• Word expansion using language stemming selections
• Word prediction using environment context
• Word prediction using sentence context
• Phrase prediction using environment & paragraph context & personal history
• Contextual overlay of predictions within the eye’s foveated cone
• Eye gaze enabled editing & correction
