Visual Scanning

The Aphasia Visual Scanning program has been designed to promote searching for and identifying letters and numbers in a field of 60 characters in 4 rows of 15 characters each in a left to right direction. It will generate a new field (table) of characters each time the next command button is clicked or tapped. It uses a modified form of a random generator to produce the tables. So the probability of showing the same table is small.


Recognition - Personal

The ID-It program allows the user to import photo files of places and things, people and food items for identification. It will present the alphabet and letters and numbers (0-9) either in order or randomized and present small words (such as out, but, in, etc.). A voice interface is included for those not able to use the command buttons. Photo files are imported from a cell phone (or other sources) as long as they are in .jpg format. Small words can be added or removed using the maintenance program.

Recognition - Word to Picture Matching

The Aphasia Word Picture Match program presents a series of photos/pictures which are to be matched to 1 word in a field of 2 to 3 choices. The choices can be optionally announced by the computer. When a correct response is selected. the computer will announce that the selection is correct. Additional photo/picture files (.jpg format) can be added using the maintenance program.

Recognition - Name the Picture

The Aphasia Name the Picture program presents a series of 3 words which are to be matched to 3 pictures by dragging the name to the corresponding picture (dragging can be done with a mouse or if the computer is equipped with a touch screen using a finger). The correct choices can be optionally announced by the computer (When a correct response is selected). The computer will announce that the selection is correct. Additional photo/picture files (.jpg format) can be added using the maintenance program.
