So I have been using the digimemo for some time now, really trying it out to see if it is all that. Well, it IS all that. More importantly, I have figured out how a blind person can use the software all by themselves.



One of the greatest problems for blind students in school is how to 
get handwritten notes as the teacher writes them in the front of the 
room. Now they can get those notes on a digimemo and can translate them 
into text that their talking
 software will read INDEPENDENTLY. They just hand the writing tablet to a
 sighted student who is taking notes for themselves anyway. They finish 
the notes, take their copy and hand the pad back to the blind student. 
The blind student takes the pad and uses a computer to translate the handwritten notes into text for themselves.

Yes, a para educator can do all this,
 but it will not make the student independent and the para educator is 
not going to graduate and do all this when for them in college or at 
their job. Using the DigiMemo
 and the handwriting software now gives a blind person the opportunity 
to get the information they need and translate the handwriting by 
themselves using a computer.


If you would like to get an idea of how this works, watch this video 
from start to finish and be Wowed. Yep, it is that impressive. Translate Handwriting into Text on a computer with a Tablet and handwriting software-audio/visual lesson
