Release 2.0 includes several significant enhancements.

  1. Enhanced language models that are specifically fine-tuned for Augmented and Alternative Communication (AAC) with word and sentence predictions to improve typing efficiency and provide a personalized user experience
  2. Multiple typing modes for faster communication
  3. Revamped and modernized user interface design
  4. Wizard-based user onboarding
  5. Modular software architecture for easier extensibility

The core application is developed in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio* 2022 and .NET 4.8.1.
It runs on Windows® 10 (20H2 or higher) and Windows® 11.

ConvAssist

This release includes ConvAssist, a module developed by Intel Labs. It enables users with disabilities to communicate using the latest language modeling technologies, through ACAT. ConvAssist can quickly suggest utterances/sentences that the user can use to have a social conversation or communicate with their caregiver in near real time. ConvAssist is built on the Pressagio library that predicts text based on n-gram models.

ConvAssist is extensible and allows developers to bring in new predictors, new language models for word prediction, sentence completion, semantic search, and more. It currently supports English-only models but can also be extended to other languages by incorporating multilingual language models.

ConvAssist is written in Python (v3.11.5)

System Requirements
