Abstract

In this paper, we introduce W2ANE, an Online Multimedia Language Assistant for individuals with aphasia, a language disorder that affects millions of people. W2ANE offers a rich online multimedia library (OMLA) supported by an adaptable and adaptive vocabulary scaffold (ViVA). The system, accessible over the Internet, provides a platform for applications such as looking up unknown words, constructing phrases for communication, practicing pronunciations, and accessing content. W2ANE also enables resource sharing and remote collaboration.
