Oskol 2 is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication system. Oskol 2 provides a communication tool for people with oral communication difficulties, especially those with severe motor disabilities who cannot use conventional mouse-based systems. People with conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Cerebral Palsy can access various applications installed on the computer using Oskol 2. Oskol 2 is specifically designed for use with gaze interaction. It incorporates an eye tracker that estimates the point on the screen where the user is looking. This allows the on-screen pointer to move in time with the user's gaze, replacing traditional mouse or touch interactions. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools allow users to communicate effectively.
An assistive device designed to deliver voice output based either in the reproduction of previously-recorded natural speech and/or on an electronic synthesized voice following a pre-established set of pronunciation rules. It typically consists of an electronic unit with a keyboard and screen; the keyboard may include letters, symbols, or both. The device is often customized to meet the user?s needs and is mostly used by patients with disabilities that partially or totally impair voice capabilities, including chronic progressive diseases.
