Stephen Hawking, one of the most prominent scientists in the world, now has a new software (ACAT) which allows you to speak and write faster than before. The program is available to any other person in the world, reports published by bbcmundo.com
The British theoretical physicist, 73 and 50 years affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, now has an interface Intel developed by the company that he modernized and used and allowed to write books and give lectures.
The new system uses a sensor that is placed in the cheek scientific and detects their movements after transfer them to a switch in his glasses. With movements in the cursor British scientist chooses the characters in the computer and can build words.
Surfing the Internet it took a long time to Hawking or open a document you could take up to three minutes, he said Lama Nachman, an engineer and project leader at the Gizmodo website specializing in technology.
Now you can do it faster, because it has tailored to the needs of the physical menu. Before he needed help from another person to attach a file to an email, not now.
Intel also developed, along with a business language technology, improvements in the system to learn about the scientist to decipher what the characters are going to need him. So he only needs to type less than 20% of the characters to put together complete sentences.
The astrophysicist and cosmologist voice is produced by a synthesizer language and with the help of your computer Lenovo and Microsoft Windows. Intel expected to ACAT, which runs on Windows 7, will be used by future researchers develop new interfaces for people suffering from diseases like Hawking. (I)
