: IBM has always been on the forefront of voice-enabled applications. IBM took the early lead with their ViaVoice products. They also offer some of the most natural text to speech products currently available. Recently they have been eclipsed by Nuance's Naturally Speaking line of products. I knew they had more planned in the area of voice-controlled apps, but they have been silent about it until now.
My mother is blind from Glaucoma, and I'm always looking for new ways that might help here navigate and communicate in this increasingly digital world. This might be a solution for her. Most voice options have had too many errors to make them viable solutions for her. Kurzweil has a very nice screen reader, but it is still difficult for her to use and extremely expensive. She currently uses her cell phone, which is voice enabled, for making calls when she is out of the house. Verizon also has been kind enough to give her unlimited 411 connect calls at no additional charge. This helps her, but only to a certain degree. It doesn't allow her to access the web, which is what she wants’ to be able to do.
I remain optimistic that someone will come up with the perfect product for her even if this one is not the right one. Besides, I love all of this too!
