AI used to clone a Congresswoman’s voice then used through her AAC device. #AugComm #SLP #AI

For those interested in the impact of #AI on #AAC #AugComm and #AssistiveTech - our fabulous colleague Prof Annalu Waller guests on the equally fabulous BBC podcast Access All this week with Emma Tracey and Paul Carter - well worth a listen (and a subscribe)!

Sadly Xitter is no longer a useful tool with its malvertising and generally rubbish signal to noise ratio…

Hello #AugComm #AssistiveTechnology people - given the binfire that xitter has become this is the place to be. @willwade @si_judge @BronwynHemsley @TG_AT we need to encourage the community over here

It seems to me that so many of the challenges facing us with #AI and #AAC #AugComm relate to Grice's conversational maxims: Quality, Quantity, Manner and Relevance / Relation (1989). Square each of those, and we might see some really exciting progress.
