Alela 对比 SwitchTrainer 的使用情况和统计数据

Alela is a unique image-based communication app for non-speaking people with communication difficulties. This includes people with autism (autism spectrum), Down syndrome (trisomy 21), intellectual disabilities, dementia or aphasia. Alela was developed with the observation that communication is a collaborative process. Therefore it has a listening function which understands the communication partner by translating spoken language into images. This allows Alela to integrate naturally into the users everyday communication and social environment. Alela can not only listen but also understand questions and suggest possible answers. Thus anyone can easily communicate with the user without having to learn how Alela works beforehand. Alela is free in the basic version and works without signing up. So it can be tried out without any obligations or subscriptions. An upgrade to the Pro version is possible at any time. Alela has a variety of features for image-based communication. This includes: • Listen The ”Listen” function simultaneously translates spoken language into images. • Answer Alela understands ”yes-no questions” and ”or questions” and suggests answers.
