Samsung Created an Android Chat App for Users With Language Disorders
Wemogee was created to help users with aphasia and other language disorders communicate
Samsung announced that it will launch Wemogee, a communication tool for individuals with language disorders, on Android April 28. The application was designed to allow users with aphasia and other language disorders to communicate with others.
Aphasia is a language disorder caused by brain damage, which affects a person’s ability to understand or express speech. According to Samsung, recent studies have shown that emoji can help people with disorders like aphasia express themselves. With this in mind, the Wemogee app serves as a “translator” between emoji and text, and contains a library of more than 140 phrases related to major themes.
Specifically, phrases are split into six main categories: everyday life; eating and drinking; feelings; help; recreational activities; and anniversaries and celebrations.
