etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a

> Talk 3: Alternative and Augmentative Communication
Speaker : Prof Anil Prabhakar, EE, IIT-M
Duration: 45mins
Abstract:
Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) aims to provide a
medium and a mode of communication to non-verbal users. While the
hearing impaired have successfully adapted to the use of SMS, and can
also rely on sign language, those with multiple disabilities still
cannot independently communicate their thoughts and wishes. The 1st
AAC conference was held at IIT-M in Dec 2005, and it led to the
creation of Hope (software), Kavi and Vaani (hardware). We now need
customized applications, especially in local languages.
