Enhance Communication for Autistic People Using a Combination of AAC Mobile Applications and Custom Voice Generator System

This study aims to provide a comprehensive literature review on the use of mobile applications in facilitating the development of communication skills among children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) mobile applications have facilitated communication among individuals with ASD who have limited communication abilities. This has enabled them to interact with each other and overcome the challenges associated with communication barriers. Individuals with ASD may decline to utilize AAC devices in public settings owing to the artificial-sounding voice produced by such devices. In many instances, these vocal expressions are incongruent with the physical or behavioral attributes of the individuals producing them. The development of a personalized and organic speech synthesis system, coupled with an AAC mobile application, may be deemed a viable resolution to the aforementioned communication challenge. Consequently, the amalgamation of these two concepts has the potential to facilitate the development of a mobile application that could effectively address communication challenges experienced by individuals with ASD.
