Table of contents:
The Italian division of Samsung has launched a new application focused on communication. So far no surprise. The funny thing is that Wemogee, which is what the app is called, focuses on serving people with language disorders Users who have problems like aphasia ( loss of the ability to speak) and that, thanks to the Emoji emoticons, they can once again communicate with some ease.
Text-emoji dictionary for patients with aphasia
The Wemogee idea is simple. In its development, Samsung Italia has relied on the work of language therapists to create a kind of text-emoticon dictionary Thus, basic, casual and daily phrases have passed to be displayed in a logical sequence and well represented in Emoji emoticons. Something much simpler that patients with aphasia and other disorders can understand. And what is better, with which they can communicate more fluently and efficiently.
The application has more than 140 phrases translated from text to Emoji emoticons All of them are well categorized into six main sections: life from day to day, food and drink, feelings, help, leisure activities and celebrations and anniversaries. The Wemogee application has a simplified design to the maximum so that any user can interact with it and its chats without any complications.
For now only in English and Italian
The application is developed in Italian and already has an English translation. However, at the moment they are the only languages with which it will be released. By the way, the application is released on April 28 in the Google Play Store for Android phones On this occasion, Samsung does not limit the possibilities of this tool only to its terminals .
It remains to be seen if Wemogee finally ends up triumphing among the more than 3 million people affected by aphasia and other communication problems. And if they decide to translate their sentences into Spanish. A tool that takes advantage of the emoticons Emoji for truly effective communication and not just to decorate messages.
