Hello, Felicia:

Firstly, congratulations on the recent publications of the memoir, I schemed through it last night, and it looks extremely entertaining, so I'm looking forward to the actual perusal of your megna opus.
Secondly, my name is Chi-Hung, or Kikou, if you wish to pronounce the Chinese Characters in Japanese, I have been a fan of yours since 2011. I am both an disabled person and also, working as a assistive technology advocate for a local Independent Living Center here at Riverside California.
I am writing you today, to see if I can get you to convince your publisher Simon and Schuster, to enable the Text to Speech function on the Kindle Version of your memoir. As a fellow geek, you are probably aware that owners of Kindle Fire tablets can have their tablet read to them in mechanical voice (IVONA), and if one owns both the Kindle and Audible copies, the mechanical voice would be replaced by the human voice. However, such function cannot be accessed if the publisher disables text to speech, and, the kindle and audible copies would remain separate.
I understand why the publishers might want to disable text to speech, especially when there is an audiobook on the market, but as a matter of principle, a book, especially an e-book, should be as accessible as possible. I apologise that my English isn't very good.
Best of luck for all your future endeavors
heart emoticon, Luke

The transformers come!

                                             While there has been little exciting news in the realm of high-tech consumer electronics other than the soul-eating-time-devouring-productivity-killing Pokemon Go sometimes masquerading as therapeutic app for people with agoraphobia, and, more generally, a cure for most Americans' aversion to outdoor exercises; the iPad got faster and bigger, and not to be outdone, Samsung sported an enormous 20 inch Android tablet called Samsung View; The bloated Android tablets, of course, have been with us since 2011, with Viewsonic's Smart Monitor and HP's all-in-one Android Computer. However, with the popularity of carbon fibre and other metal alloys, there has been a welcoming move by the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) industry to make traditionally bulky and heavy devices more mobile and portable.                 I first saw Luggie (a foldable scooter) in late 2014, when the vendor did a presentation at my work in Riverside, Cali

CoWriter and the Subscription model:

The CoWriter Universal:  The Subscription model: When it comes to Word Prediction Software; none is, perhaps, better marketed than CoWriter by Don Johnston. Like Dragon Naturally Speaking by Nuance is for speech recognition, CoWriter by Don Johnston is often the first thing an AT professional think of when Word Prediction is being discussed.  In case there is still anyone out there that doesn’t know what a Word prediction software is, it’s what we often use when we type on the smartphone and other mobile devices. The little bar above the smartphone keyboard that guesses what we are trying to type is called, Word Prediction; and before the advent of the smart devices and their touch screens, Word Prediction Software had already been widely used by people with disabilities to make typing less of a pain. I first saw CoWriter on ABC News in early 2009, and its selling point was the copious vocabularies it is capable of predicting. It could be used by anyone from K12 to Postgraduat

AT, where we are and where we are going (maybe)

By September next year, I will have worked a full decade as an assistive technology specialist for an Independent Living Center.   The first generation iPad sitting silently in my drawer was once the darling of the tech world; it is now old enough to attend grade school.   It still feels like yesterday when I was still obsessed over which voice engines produce the most human sounding voice, when there is already commercially available companion robots and artificial intelligence those are capable of not only understanding vocal commands, but physically altering the environments of one’s surrounding. Technology evolves faster today than it has ever been at any point in human history.   We are fortunate to live in a time when tomorrow not only promises new technologies, but delivers them like clockwork.   Today, so much assistive technologies have been incorporated into mainstream consumer electronics it’s become almost impossible to tell what constitutes an assistive technology device
