Audio Friend is a combination of hardware and software. This product is for people that have gone blind for various reasons (reading a mobile device for 5-10 years straight and going blind from text that is too small; reading Excel spreadsheets until blind; many people in the US are overweight and loss of eyesight is a symptom of diabetes). People dictate to Audio Friend what they need to work on and the AI (artificial intelligence) in the system will locate the file, any file type, and then have a conversation with you about what you want to happen. Your request may be as simple as having Audio Friend reading a Blackberry Messenger message you received then sending a message you dictate back to the friend you are instant messaging. Your request may be complex such as modifying/updating your financials and sending them off to the government agency you are applying to for a license or certification. This product might already exist. I did see Transcendent Man and Ray Kurzweil made some device for the blind so I may have missed this opportunity already. Anyway, I would like feedback on this product because I will probably be blind like Steve Wynn in the next few years because I like to read my Twitter stream at 4 am for an hour in the dark.
