Summary:The main idea behind this application is to provide a platform to the people suffering from autism and aphasia by enabling them to understand and construct sentences which they find difficult to produce because of some damages to specific brain regions. In order to overcome such an inability of autism and aphasia we have proposed an Android based aided Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) mobile application that acts as a fixed display speech generating device for the people with speech impairments. Moreover our proposed application will also help those challenging people to communicate both in Assamese and English based on their linguistic preferences.
