As I gaze into my crystal ball, here's what I'd like to see for people with learning disabilities (and I think we'll see something like it in the next few years).
The device will be about the size of a current Apple Newton or a bit smaller. It will respond to voice, both command and dictation. It will take the place of a micro-cassette recorder and have speech to text software built in so that a person can use it to not only record a lecture but also to see the notes afterward. It doesn't have to be self-contained: it should work seamlessly with a desktop computer (any desktop computer). It should also contain all the other Personal Information Management (PIM) software that people need to stay organized: calendar, note pad, address book. It should be able to communicate in a variety of ways: fax, phone dialing, e-mail, etc. It should have a digital checkbook (or some kind of digital money) in it.
And, it ought to be able to be customized easily.
And, it should cost around $200.
When you see it around, give me a call:
