Here’s an interesting Voice to Text story from CES, where the first Closed-Captioned HD Radio for the Deaf was launched By NPR, Harris and Towson University.

Using capabilities that are part technology and part human typists, NPR broadcasts are transcribed in real time, with the text displayed on special receivers onscreen. Numerous receiver manufacturers are expected to join the initiative.

Very neat stuff - another cool application of Voice to Text technology that brings content to the hearing impaired.

Sometimes we don’t talk about ourselves here at the GotVoice blog, and instead focus on stuff we like.  We’ve been recently playing with Faves, which allows you to basically set up links to your favorite web sites and share them with your friends.

It’s a neat way to share things you like, and here’s an example of some “favers” talking about GotVoice.  Let us know what you think of Faves.

Ok, don’t tell the investors, but no work was done in the GotVoice offices from 10:00-10:15am today as we tested this little homemade metal detector out.  And to be honest, it’s actually quite a nice little app for finding some of our testing phones, which unfortunately get lost a little too often around here.

Thanks to the guys at 2dayblog for digging this up.
