Written by In the recent periods, there were few inventions In the tech market for the physically challenged. The most recent of these inventions is the touchscreen cell phone for those without the ability to speak and hear.
How Does The Phone Function?
This phone has two pillars that pull out and open into a touchscreen. When someone who cannot speak types in the albhabets, the gadget converts the text into voice and sends it across the called person. And from the receiving side, when the called person speaks out a thing, the voice is changed into text and sent across. The next round process resembles speech-to-text recognition.
This makes things so much simpler for those with hearing problems. Another related app for these special people is the Nokia Braille Reader introduced a while back by Nokia.The Brialle Reader is for those who are visually inable. the gadget aids them use the SMS program fully. The Cell phone uses vibration as a mode to identify the characters and then turns these into Braille form; thus, helping the user read the text. This app was out in the market for download in October 2009 and works iwth with several Nokia phones.
Yet one more addition on the list is the Panasonic Robotic Bed cum Wheelchair. This Robotic Bed is such that it may be turned into a wheel chair whenever necessary. And all this- switching from Bed to chair, and chair to Bed doesn’t call for support. That is physically challenged can help himself/herself in moving on the wheelchair from one corner of the house to yet another place, and using the chair as the Bed to rest. This is absolutely an awesome concept which makes the physically challenged dependant on none.
I hope in future we get to see several such inventions and products which lessen the gap among the fortunate and the unfortunate, and make technology a bliss for many.
