Here Is a Quick Million $

I was in an Apple store yesterday looking at solutions to some problems I want solved, and I was introduced to the amazing advances in voice recognition.  The iPad truly needs no keyboard, because the voice to text is fantastic.  Even in the noisy store, on a machine not trained to hear the speaker, the fidelity was great.

Better if there was some way to cancel ambient noise in crowded areas, but to my mind the problem went the other way.  I find people talking to their devices in quiet areas annoying.

Solution, a kind of voice canceling device.  This is something else, but it is along the idea.  It would have to be attractive and absolutely voice cancelling outside the device.  A sort of studio reduced to jaw-sized.

Think of 12 hour flights jabbering away to the distress of your seat mate, with whom you may not want to share your ideas.  The thing could double as an air cleaner, in case your seat mate is coughing up bits of lung to your distress.

To my mind, the new iPad will allow me to create a script, run a teleprompter of the script, record a session, and post it in real time.  I can do all of that with my macbook right now, but the camera is way ahead of what is on my mac.

Let me know if you develop this item.

Feel free to forward this to three of your friends.

Came over to see some ideas for importing into the US when I saw this post.

The product you are talking about does not currently exist (I think). I can do a study to see its feasibility and what it would take to develop such a product.

Catch up with you via email.
