AB  - Speech Interfaces for Assistive Technologies 
are not common and are usually replaced by others. The 
the market they are targeting is not considered attractive 
and speech technologies are still not well spread.
The industry still thinks they present some performance 
risks, especially Speech Recognition systems. As speech 
is the most elemental and natural way for 
communication, it has a strong potential for enhancing 
inclusion and quality of life for broader groups of users 
with special needs, such as people with cerebral palsy 
and elderly staying at their homes. This work is a 
position paper in which the authors argue for the need to 
make speech become the basic interface in assistive 
technologies. Among the main arguments, we can state: 
speech is the easiest way to interact with machines; there 
is a growing market for embedded speech in assistive 
technologies, since the number of disabled and elderly 
people is expanding; speech technology is already 
mature to be used but needs adaptation to people with 
special needs; there is still a lot of R&D to be done in this 
area, especially when thinking about the Portuguese 
market. The main challenges are presented, and future 
directions are proposed
