  • I'm getting one now, well not now but next paycheck :)

  • @ElegyForTheMasses Great!

  • One of our goals at AlphaGrip is to enable high speed input on a tablet computer or smartphone. Then you will be able to type 60+ words per minute while your standing, walking, sitting on a park bench, or lying on a blanket at the beach. In other words, you won't have to get to a flat, stationary surface to create content (or play desktop-quality, 10-finger control video games). Now that you've asked that question, however, I can see how my demo is a far cry from our vision.

  • The point is that you can type faster on an AlphaGrip while you're standing up than you can with any other input device.

  • The fastest speed I've achieved is 80 wpm, but my average is about 60. I can type 70-80 wpm on a keyboard, but the tradeoff is worth it to me. You may want to ask other, less biased AlphaGrip users what they think. A link to the AlphaGrip Google Group is on our website under Support/Discussion Group.

  • Okay, but it would be neat if there were a wireless device to attach lips/jaws--just some little electrodes set into a light mesh (stylish) design that would fit over the bottom of the face. Then, the electrodes would "read" the positions/actions of the facial muscles/tongue, etc as the dictator forms words ("pronounced" without actually speaking/using their voice). This, of course, is a variation of speech recognition (from another angle), but I do wonder if anybody is working on this?

  • Interesting idea. Are you aware of any products that utilize highly sensitive electrodes/sensors to detect muscle movement for other applications?
