Text-messaging communication advances for users w/ disabilities

The JayBee system, by mobile marketing firm Txtlocal, allows users with disabilities to read and write text messages using head movements and eye blinks, as well as touch-screen commands and hand movements. The gestures recall phrases, such as "I need help," that can be translated automatically into audible speech. The system is similar to the MyVoice application, developed by students at the University of Toronto. Mobiledia http://www.mobiledia.com/news/97589.html
