Christensen/

Please note that to accommodate other recent calls for papers, we are
extending the deadline for full paper submission to the ACM Transactions
on Accessible Computing (TACCESS) Special Issue on Speech and Language
Interaction for Daily Assistive Technology. We are also adjusting the
response to authors deadline. The new dates are as follows:

  * Response to authors: 14th July 2014
  * Revised submission deadline: 31st August 2014
  * Notification of acceptance: 31st October 2014
  * Final manuscripts due: 30th November 2014

- Applications of speech and NLP technology (automatic speech
  recognition, synthesis, dialogue, natural language generation) for AT
  applications

- Novel modeling and machine learning approaches for AT applications

- Long-term adaptation of speech/NLP based AT system to user's change

- User studies, overview of speech/NLP technology for AT: understanding
  the user's needs and future speech and language based technologies-

- Understanding, modeling and recognition of aged or disordered speech

- Speech analysis and diagnosis: automatic recognition and detection of
  speech pathologies and speech capability loss

- Speech-based distress recognition

- Automated processing of symbol languages, sign language and nonverbal
  communication including translation systems-

- Text and audio processing for improved comprehension and
  intelligibility, e- g- , sentence simplification or text-to-speech
