Abstract

ALCANCE is an interdisciplinary research group working on Accessibility, Usability and Computational Linguistics. The group seeks to develop technologies to aid people in their daily tasks, as well as with educational and professional needs, with interactive systems and with computational linguistics. The group is part of the National Reference Center on Assistive Technology (CNRTA) from the Brazilian Federal Government, and of the Rede Mineira de Tecnologia Assistiva, from the Minas Gerais state government.

Keywords: Accessibility, Usability, Computational Linguistics, Assistive Technology, Interaction Design
