Intelligent Input App: Enhancing Inclusive Communication

Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd unveils an innovative input app, "Intelligent," aimed at revolutionizing communication for vulnerable populations. The app addresses the challenges faced by the elderly, deaf-mute individuals, those with expression disorders, and individuals seeking touchless communication during the pandemic. Leveraging advanced AI technologies, the app offers tailored modes to meet the unique input needs of different user groups, fostering smoother and more inclusive communication experiences.

Integrating multiple AI technologies, the Intelligent input app is compatible with various intelligent terminals, including Android, iOS, MacOS, and Windows. By providing consistent user experiences across different platforms, the app ensures seamless communication and expression assistance for all users, regardless of the device they use.

Designed to identify users' needs through face and gesture recognition, the app offers specialized modes to facilitate efficient and accurate expression. For instance, the app recognizes the elderly through AI face recognition, enabling them to input rare words through handwriting with the voice assistant. Additionally, the app allows touchless input by enabling handwriting in the air through gesture recognition, ensuring user safety by eliminating the need to touch the screen.

The development of the Intelligent input app commenced in November 2019, with successive releases including the introduction of handwriting in the air in May 2020 and the launch of the intelligent input for the elderly in April 2021. The app's development team is based in Beijing, China.

Baidu's mission to simplify the complex world with technology is exemplified through the Intelligent input app, which aims to create a harmonious society by actively addressing the communication and expression needs of vulnerable populations. The app's commitment to inclusivity and user empowerment aligns with Baidu's vision of becoming a leading high-tech company that understands users and contributes to their growth.
