Simon Judge, Zoe Robertson and Mark Hawley of the RAT group and Barnsley Hospital Assistive Technology team have been awarded 'Highly Commended' status in journal publishers Emerald's annual Outstanding Papers Award. The paper, The limitations of speech control: perceptions of provision of speech-driven environmental controls was published in the Journal of Assistive Technologies, and outlined the provision of speech-driven environmental
control systems, looking at the perspective of assistive technology
professionals.
The analysis suggested that professionals have a ‘mental
model’ of a successful user of a speech-driven system and that in
general they consider such systems either as a ‘last resort’ or to work
in parallel with another system as a back-up. Assistive
technology professionals think that speech has potential as an access
method but are cautious about using speech-driven environmental control
systems predominantly due to concerns about reliability.
An open-access copy of the full paper is available via the University of Sheffield's White Rose Repository.
...combines the expertise of three research groups at the University of Sheffield: Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Group (RAT Group), the Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare (CATCH) and the Telehealth and Care Technologies theme of CLAHRC YH (http://clahrc-yh.nihr.ac.uk/)
