- chime 17y agoNecessity is the mother of invention. I made ktype for my paralyzed cousin ( http://chir.ag/projects/ktype/ http://chir.ag/projects/ktype/ ) but his condition worsened to the point that he couldn't even keep his eyes open. I even shared it with HN and lots of people said very helpful things on what else I can do with it. My cousin's condition has improved so he might be able to use it and now I want to make it work on the iPad. It would be the perfect medium/device - it is light, has touch, and a fast web-browser - not to mention it is CHEAP when compared to typical medical equipment. I'm hoping to make an iPad/iPhone app that has audio/speech-synthesis etc. and can be used by a lot more people than my cousin. Let's see what happens...
