Apple includes basic speech recognition on Macs: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/physical/ Now that I'm a parent, talking with other parents, I found a common use case for speech recognition: many hours of feeding and soothing a baby requiring both hands. The baby is happy and occupied, but caregivers would like to do something too. I've talked to parents who started reading coil-bound books just because they lay flat without constant handing. So a hands-free software UI for caregivers could be a big hit, especially if it was optimized for reading email, web browsing, and writing rather than general purpose control. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
