Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate an objective approach of enhancing usability of assistive technology for people with communication disorders by adopting software usability testing and user experience. Background: People with Cerebral Palsy have communication issues due to its spasticity characteristics. One of alternative communication methods they use is an augmented and alternative communication (AAC) device. But this kind of device is generally expensive and bulky to use in their daily activities. Authors adopt smart phone application approach to overcome these barriers and, in this paper, introduce an objective method to assess the application resolve these issues. Method: The handy smart phone application named ‘Jinsori’ has features of storing Korean words and sentences, retrieving and updating stored words and sentences, and pronouncing the stored words and sentences, which are assisting roles for people with communication disorders, i.e., people with Cerebral Palsy (CP). After a few hours of user experience of ‘Jinsori’, a subject with CP answers number of questions and performs designed service scenarios in type of face-to-face conversation with a nondisabled people. With these outcome measures, authors analyze the outcome qualitatively and quantitatively. This approach leads findings and recommendations for enhancing usability of the smart phone application. Results: A few findings are difficulties in using input keys due to their small size and the subject’s limited hand function due to the spasticity. Authors’ analysis concludes ‘Jinsori’ needs to have configurable input keys to provide maximum freedom of limited hand function. Conclusion: After meeting with the developers of ‘Jinsori’, authors find the objective approach adopted form ISO standards and user experience is one of effective methods of finding issues and resolutions to enhance usability of the prototype of ‘Jinsori’. Application: Authors extend the approach to other assistive devices to prove its feasibility and robustness of the usability method.
