Specifications
GEINTRA has collaborated in the development and design of various assistive products for persons with disabilities, which have been implemented in the market, including for example, a text editor for Windows for people with mobility problems. Its main characteristic is its access versatility and flexibility to allow the application to be adapted for very different users. The application allows writing with keyboard or exclusively with mouse or with scanning options controlled by one or two switches. To accelerate the writing velocity of those people using the scanning option, the system has modules for word prediction and flexible abbreviation expansion that propose the next words taking into account grammar rules and the topic on which the user is writing about. It also learns new words including them to its vocabulary. The scanning speed, size and color of the letters are configurable. Furthermore, people with visual and audition problems can use the system because it includes visual and auditive feedback for all the scanned actions or menu selections, of the written text, etc.
Other systems developed by the group are: computer games, virtual keyboards or graphic communicators, all of them oriented to switch users.
We have also implemented assistive guidance systems and systems for the management of points of interest for people with visual problems using Android platforms.
