Web-Service for Translation of Pictogram Messages into Russian Coherent Text

This paper examines design and implementation of a web-service for translating pictogram messages into text messages in Russian. Also, we considered the contemporary approaches to such translation and proposed effective methods solving this task. The developed web-service for the translation of pictogram messages into text messages can have a wide range of applications in the field of augmentative and alternative communication for people with mental and speech disorders. Also, this web-service can be used by third-party software developers, which will enable their programs for people with special needs to translate pictogram messages.
