RECENT PRESENTATION: Pectogram: Enhancing PECS with Generative AI to Support Unfamiliar Communication Contexts

Proud to present my students’ work at ASSETS this year!

Pectogram, a generative AI-augmented Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) designed to support non-speaking individuals by transforming natural language text into PECS-style image cards in real time. Pectogram accepts input from any text-generating assistive technology and supports personalization through custom uploads, PECS databases, and AI-generated content!
