I have been thinking. When speech recognition technology (SRT?) hopefully becomes successful someday, I bet that some companies will make a new product for the Deaf.
It would be nice to carry your own portable device with you anywhere like a church, lectures, ANY movie at a local theater, tours, doctor/lawyer appt, anyplace where there is a spoken English language.
The design would look like a CV device (w/o arm) but much slimmer with a built-in microphone. The accessories would include a cupholder w/ arm for theaters, case, rechargeable unit and such.
You could even use it at home to watch non-captioned videos online or on TV with sound on. BUT the question is WHEN?
(Since there are already apps for that, however smartphones' screens are too small and tablets' screens are too big.)
In case you don't know what SRT does, its software converts voices to captions just like the one provided by Google at YouTube.com.
