Communication is a fundamental part of human life. It accompanies almost every interpersonal interaction. However, the personal communication can be disrupted by a stroke or a traumatic brain injury. This can lead to limitations in speaking, writing, auditive understanding and reading. flow is an image-based AAC device that mediates between an affected person and a speaking person. It uses icons either to translate spoken language into images or to generate speech through selecting and linking images.
