Abstract
Communication is an essential element of human interaction with a community. People with communication disorders that would otherwise impede this interaction can interface with their communities via augmentative and alternative communication. The Korean government supports these disabled people with augmentative and alternative communication devices. However, most devices require high cost and have only simple functions. Furthermore, they require space for storage. As an effort to relieve the difficulties of using such devices, this study develops an augmentative and alternative communication application that can be mounted on widely spreading smart-phones and tablet PCs.
