Objective. The objective of the study is to enhance communication efficiency for individuals with advanced neuromuscular pathologies, specifically by increasing the number of letters written per second through a hybrid Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) software. Methods. The methodology involves the development of a hybrid AAC software that can be activated through acoustic events, physical events, or coded selection. Additionally, this system was implemented in an Android app, and a study of the target group was conducted to assess its usability and accessibility. Results. The results indicate that the proposed keyboard overcomes many limitations of traditional AAC systems, providing greater usability and efficiency in communication for individuals with neuromuscular diseases. Conclusions. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the proposed keyboard offers an alternative solution to enhance communication for individuals with neuromuscular pathologies, enabling them to access educational and employment inclusion by using any type of computer.
