ZenMation produced over 1,500 audio clips for use in an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device. These audio clips are in two different languages to enhance communication capabilities for non-verbal people with disabilities:
- Somali
- Hmong
Minnesota Department of Human Services and Technology for Home hired ZenMation to produce these audio clips. All translation services and voiceover talent was provided by ECHO Minnesota, a division of Twin Cities Public Television, and a key partner of ZenMation, Inc.
Listen to a few phrases that were built into an AAC device:
Somali: I use this computer to talk.
Hmong: I use this computer to talk.
Somali: What’s your name?
Hmong: What’s your name?
Somali: I need your help.
