ABSTRACT:
The present invention broadly comprises a computer-based method for aiding aphasics having gross and fine motor impairments in efficiently communicating, comprising the steps of storing alphanumeric characters in a database, calculating statistics of the alphanumeric characters based on frequency used and most recent used, and, predicting a response according to the statistics of the alphanumeric characters, wherein the steps of storing, calculating, and predicting are performed by a general purpose computer specially programmed to perform the steps of storing, calculating, and predicting.
