>Subject: Interesting new tech: Magic Block


LLTIers,
FYI-Our accessibility specialist passed this tidbit onto an internal list.
It
looks very interesting and has interesting potential for field work, etc.

The IBM Magic Block is a portable recording device that stores
nonstop sound throughout the day, making these recordings the user's
private digital sound diary. The digital diary is easily searchable
thanks to IBM voice-recognition search technology, which works like a
Web search engine for sound. The user can effortlessly search for a
keyword, a specific time range (to play back a meeting or school
class) or a particular person's voice (the software can recognize
pre-associated names with voice and then play back the parts when
that person is talking). To secure data privacy, the user accesses
the Magic Block through a seamlessly embedded fingerprint-recognition
reader. The Magic Block closes and opens in a clever way: avoiding
accidental input when closed, physically indicating it is ready for
use when open.
