Users can then select vocabulary to create sentences using synthesized speech.QuickPic is fully customizable:~> You can edit the topic display created to add or remove words, or select a better symbol for a specific word.~> You can change the size of all elements in the interface.~> You can choose the complexity of vocabulary generated automatically.~> You can program familiar people to enable QuickPic to automatically recognize them when creating new boards.QuickPic was designed by a team of experts (PhDs and CCC-SLPs) in the field of speech-language therapy and human-computer interaction (HCI) using user-centered design methodologies, which involved the participation of end-users in the process.*** Development of this application was partly supported by the App Factory to Support Health and Function of People with Disabilities funded by a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) in the U.S.
