Digital TV software provides talking menus for the visually impaired

Digital TV software provides talking menus for the visually impaired,
deaf and elderly

It looks like something we've all been looking for may finally be
coming.
Digital TV software provides talking menus for the visually
impaired, deaf and elderly
Tom Scott
NY Disability Examiner, September 2, 2009
Bristol/Hong Kong-based Ocean Blue Software, a specialist digital TV
software house, has developed talking digital TV technology for set top
boxes and televisions that could potentially benefit millions of people
who
are blind, visually impaired, deaf, severely dyslexic, and elderly.
The technology, produced in conjunction with theThe Royal National
Institute
of Blind People (RNIB) and other digital technology companies, works by
converting on-screen based text menus into speech output. Consumers will
be
able to control how the audio information is spoken to them, and have
the
ability to change the level of speech and the language through a
customizable interface. Developers are optimistic that the new
technology
will improve the quality of life of 8 million individuals living with
disabilities in the UK, and even
more around the world.
Ocean Blue Software also recently produced Nexus TVTM, a digital
technology
system with health care features that utilizes a television with a set
top
box and a remote control. The system is capable of providing automatic
alerts reminding users which medication to take, and when. Users will
also
be able to order repeat prescriptions by scanning a barcode with the
remote
control and then forward it to their pharmacist. Individuals with
limited
mobility, will
be able to shop local stores and markets through the Nexus TVTM network
and
have items delivered to their home.
This is about exploiting technology to give the elderly and vulnerable
every possible comfort and security where they most want it - in their
own
homes, said Ken Helps, CEO of Ocean Blue Software, in a company press
release. At the same time, it addresses one of the greatest challenges
for
the British economy how to finance support for an ageing population.
It will be interesting to see how these technologies fare overseas and
if they will eventually be adopted in the US.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.

 

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some

folks.

Seriously..

Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured

everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics).  She

said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she

appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest

of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been

taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had

suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs

of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.

They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

 

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3

hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He

said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then

getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is

tough.

 

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and

Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.

Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke

victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to

recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three

simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK, speak a simple sentence (Coherently---

i.e...It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask individual to RAISE both arms

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency

number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

 

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to STICK his

TONGUE out... If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or

the other,  that is also an indication of a stroke.

I guess this could go under "S" and/or under "T"!!!
