Article: At the recent WSJ.D Live global technology conference in California, an Israeli start-up won audience favorite. The company, Voiceitt, won for its new translation app, Talkitt, which is expected to be released to the public next year. The app is the brainchild of Israeli Arab Rabea Ziuod, VP of business development, who has a brother and sister with cerebral palsy. As a result of this disease, few people can understand the disabled individuals when they talk; but this doesn't mean they don't understand what is going on around them and that they don't have a lot to say. Through this app, people with disabilities and speech impairment talk and the app "translates" it into understandable speech, using algorithms to learn how that person speaks and understand them. Watch the amazing video of how this app works.
Kids: what do you think of this? What are some of the challenges in creating this type of app? If you had to create an app to help a type of disability, what would it be and how would it work?
