Ace Centre reposted this
Assistive Technology Specialist / Research & Innovation Manager @ Ace Centre | Assistive Technology, AAC, Occupational Therapy
It dawned on me yesterday that we could do this translation tool for the Grid3 software pretty easily. How? Well long story short we have documented the file structure of a gridset* This makes it super super easy now to make things like this sort of tool. Now just because you can - doesnt mean you should. Be super careful about using a tool like this to translate your language/vocabulary packages. This demo is of converting Symbol Talker A to Swahili. In this language (as well as many others) the typical sentence structure is quite different. You really need to adapt and customise this heavily for the target language. Potentially even NOT use this translation technique at all. But it may help get you started.. If you hammer this streamlit service and it falls over please let me know! See this link to access the tool yourself for free https://lnkd.in/gtj-NjGx #thinksmartbox #grid3 * Please other suppliers - we need more docs on your file format to do something similar - Smartbox did to be fair publish docs on their file format - I just worked it up a bit.. PS: Credits too to Simon Judge who nudged me in the right direction for this. Apologies to Nieve at Ace Centre who has spent a long time doing this by hand recently..
