Abstract
SpeechWare 2.0 is a customizable speech prosthesis for people with communications as well as motor disabilities. SpeechWare runs on a Macintosh super(TM) computer and provides user empowerment over synthesized and digitized speech, telephone and print communications, and household environmental control. A variety of input devices including 'single click' operations are supported. The advantage of a ProsthesisWare approach is that it permits customization for each person's cognitive and physical capabilities and does not depend on neurological plasticity. The disadvantage is that ProsthesisWare requires new technical, programming, and support infrastructures to be established in the rehabilitation industry.
