The system deciphers visual flags and makes an interpretation of them into words, which are then "talked" by a machine.
Intel initially built up the innovation extraordinarily for Prof Hawking, however it has been utilized by different sufferers of engine neurone sickness (MND).
Anybody is presently ready to download and try different things with the framework.
On account of Prof Hawking, the Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (ACAT) translates sensor information catching developments in his cheek muscles yet different parts of the body may be utilized.
Intel trusts that ACAT, which keeps running on Microsoft Windows 7 or higher, will be utilized by specialists growing new interfaces for sufferers of infections like ALS.
The project and full source code have been distributed on code-sharing site GitHub.
Sensor decision
Intel told the BBC that the product can complete different capacities other than sending content to a discourse synthesizer.
"We have logical menus to get to every diverse piece of you're PC," said Lama Nachman, key specialist. "In the event that you need to utilize Word, surf the web or talk you can utilize ACAT for that."
She included that the group had officially explored different avenues regarding a mixed bag of distinctive sensors, and they are trusting designers will experiment with different choices suitable to every persistent's requirements and capacities.
"We additionally have an accelerometer [motion] sensor for patients who can utilize a finger yet very little more, and a catch framework for somebody who can push a catch," she said.
Energizing move
The UK's MND Association has lauded the move.
"Helping keep up correspondence for somebody with MND could be as straightforward as utilizing a pen and paper. Be that as it may, as the sickness advances individuals frequently lose the utilization of their hands as well," said Karen Pearce, Director of Care for the MND Association.
"That is when bleeding edge Augmentative and Alternative Communication, or AAC, helps can help yet it's essential discourse and dialect advisors take a gander at the best choices for families.
"It will be energizing to perceive how this open source methodology functions."
Euan MacDonald, a MND sufferer who runs a debilitated access surveys site called Euan's Guide , said, "AAC is a totally central piece of my life. Not at all like therapeutic examination, innovation is moving rapidly and it's energizing to see new things rise consistently.
"The more that innovation can help us express what we are considering, the better," he included.
