Nintendo of Japan are currently testing a new voice recognition software, aimed at helping children with disabilities. The software is being developed with the help of mobile phone carrier NTT, to allow spoken words to be converted into text in real time.
This allows disabled students to use the DSi as a miniture blackboard, so when the teacher speaks the student's can see everything clearly. The software also makes use of cloud servers to store the data that is converted to text, so students may review it later.
The software is currently starting it's trials in the Tottori and Okinawa Prefecture's, with the hope that hearing-impaired children will use it outside school to communicate.
