Re: Great news for disabled folk...

How about those who are functionally illiterate because they have dyslexia? My stepson has severe dyslexia and struggles to read anything longer than a sentence. It takes him so much effort to actually read the words in a paragraph that by the time he gets to the end he often can't remember what it was actually about.

He has found voice recognition and text-to-speech technologies an absolute life changer.
