UAIE Communication Support Mode — reference implementation

A calm, predictable, autism-inclusive layer for the Universal Adaptive Interface Engine.

Six features, one mode. Designed by Fiza Pathan Publishing (OPC) Pvt Ltd. Built for autistic readers, AAC users, slow readers, and English-language learners. Free tier covers everything below; AI-extended sentence rewriting is available in the BYO-API-key tier.

Visual Schedule Builder

Feature 1 of 6

Build a First-Then or longer step-by-step plan from concepts you choose. The schedule lives on this device only and contains only what you add. No diagnostic or behavioural data is stored.

Plain Words

Feature 2 of 6

Substitute idioms, abstract phrases, and formal-register words with plain, literal equivalents. The Free tier uses the curated dictionary built into UAIE; the BYO-API-key tier extends this with sentence-level rewriting against the AI key you supply.

About the dictionary

The starter dictionary contains approximately 185 entries: idioms, abstract-to-concrete substitutions, formal-to-plain substitutions, polysemy hints, and passive-voice patterns. It is licensed CC BY 4.0 and may be extended by Fiza Pathan Publishing or by accessibility teams who fork UAIE.

Predictability Indicator

Feature 3 of 6

Estimates how predictable a passage is, before you commit to reading it. Higher scores indicate more uniform sentence length, fewer idioms, fewer topic shifts, and less figurative language.

Sensory Calm

Feature 4 of 6

Strip animation and motion from the page; play a calming masking sound; protect the screen from sudden flashes. Sounds are synthesised in your browser; nothing is downloaded or streamed.

Pauses GIFs, autoplay video, marquee, parallax, and scroll-jacking on the host page.
Detects abrupt brightness changes and dims them. Recommended on for photosensitive users.
A short vibration when you complete a schedule step (mobile devices that allow vibration only).

Calming sound

Symbol Support

Feature 5 of 6

Render small pictograms above key nouns, verbs, and concepts. Each word can be voiced individually. Use the slider to fade the symbols in or out.

Library: Mulberry primary (production fetches from a self-hosted UAIE bundle). Inline UAIE pictograms are used as the offline fallback.

Quiet Mode

Feature 6 of 6

A single button to remove almost everything from the screen. The page becomes a soft cream ground with the time and a brief calming message. Tap and hold the exit button to return.
