AI for Good Innovate for Impact

• Adaptive interfaces supporting diverse user needs
• Open-source integration framework to enable continuous improvement

Collaborative Development: 4.4-Productivity

• Partnerships with leading technology companies (Lenovo, ElevenLabs, D-ID, IRISBOND
and many others)
• Testing and validation with ALS users and disability organizations
• Commitment to creating an inclusive, accessible communication solution

The platform emphasizes human-centric design, accessibility, and dignity, with on-device
processing for privacy and real-time performance. We've successfully demonstrated this
solution in high-profile venues:

• At Lenovo Tech World: Erin Taylor (ALS) introduced Lenovo's CEO using the technology
• At Austrian Parliament: Our avatar system enabled communication in Viennese German
and gave an ex-parliamentarian with paralysis a voice
• With ALS families: A father reading stories and singing lullabies to his children

ITU Standard Alignment

Our solution directly aligns with critical ITU telecommunications standards:

• ITU-T F.930 (06/2018): Guidelines for developing accessible telecommunication services
• ITU-T F.931 (09/2019): Telecommunications accessibility checklist for people with
disabilities
• ITU-T Y.4116/L.1630 (09/2020): Requirements for AI-enabled assistive technologies

Research confirms the concerning gap in assistive communication technology access.
According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, despite the critical need
for communication support, less than 20% of U.S. students who need communication assistance
receive any form of AAC. This accessibility gap widens further when considering the millions
more who remain undiagnosed or without proper assessment, particularly in underserved
communities.
Use Case Status: Successfully demonstrated with working technology in real-world settings;
part of ongoing development initiative.

Partners

The Scott-Morgan Foundation has established a revolutionary collaboration model uniting
technology leaders through strategic social impact partnerships:

Lenovo: Provides hardware, interface design, and global reach. Developed the circular
keyboard interface, provided testing hardware, led prototype integration, and showcased the
technology at Tech World.

ElevenLabs: Contributed voice synthesis technology creating personalized voices from limited
samples. Committed to distributing one million synthetic voices for people with disabilities
(valued at $99 million).

D-ID: Provides avatar technology preserving visual identity and expression, enabling lifelike
representation from limited video or photos.
