While your critique is certainly true of the first generation of trackers, I'm not sure if you're familiar with a company called Qbotix[1]? They're just one example where innovation in the space is producing cheaper and more

Fascinating talk, thank you. I was curious, I saw it mentioned that stenographers have their own styles around the edges of the language. Would it be possible to capture each users' idiosyncrasies, and work them in to the core to keep
