ACAT is an open-source assistive communication platform from Intel Labs, originally developed for Stephen Hawking, that helps people with restricted speech and typing abilities communicate. It provides keyboard simulation, word/sentence prediction, speech synthesis, and configurable input modalities such as switches, cameras, and BCI devices.
Use cases
- enable communication for users with ALS or limited motor control
- convert switch or camera input into typed text and speech
- predict words and sentences for slow typers
- customize assistive UI panels and scanning keyboards
- text-to-speech with custom pronunciations for assistive users
When to choose
- you need a configurable AAC platform on Windows with extensible input modalities
- you are a developer extending assistive communication technology
- the user relies on switch, camera, or BCI input instead of a keyboard
When to avoid
- you need assistive communication on macOS, Linux, or mobile platforms
- you want a turnkey consumer AAC app without configuration effort
- your project is not .NET/Windows based
