Abstract

This paper presents an information technology based on modern IT devices (netbooks, tablets, phones, etc) and supporting an alternative communication for persons with (temporary or permanent) verbal communication disorders. It is proposed to implement this communication through the intellectualization of the process of entering text data with applying a limited number of relevant controls specified by a person’s hand. A human skeleton model is investigated with a view to determining a limited number of hand configurations and motions reliably identified by recognition tools of IT devices.
