The Problem• Students who have hand or arm
injuries/disabilities have a hard time writing extensively.
• This can be especially difficult in a lecture environment where a student is expected to write a lot and for an extended period of time.

The Options• Currently one option is to record the
class and later listen to the lecture again to capture important information.– This is extremely time consuming and still
requires the student to write or type all of the notes.
• Smart pens transfer recorded written notes to computer– Users are still required to write notes.

The Options• A third option is using computer
software that converts voice into text in real time.– This option still requires a student to
carry a computer, which may not be feasible with an extensive injury. Other noises or voices can also be picked up and become a part of the student’s notes.

The Solution• A device that records the class lecture
and then turns the voice recording into text on a computer.
• A microphone and recorder captures the professor speaking. The student then plugs the device into a USB port on a computer and the lecture comes up as a word document that can easily be edited and printed.

The Solution• Many professors do not allow the use of
recording devices in their classrooms without their permission.
• However, in cases of injuries most professors approve the use of such devices.
• In most classrooms this product would require professor approval but because of its specific purpose, approval should not be a problem.

The Specs• Buttons on recorder include:
– Record, Stop, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, and volume
• There are 4 “active recording” buttons– These buttons allow for separate recordings – 4 separate lectures can be recorded and
played back without the need to fast forward through another lecture to find clean space
– Simply press a recording button (labeled 1,2,3,4) and then press the record, stop, play buttons, etc.

The Specs• Compatible with many word processing
programs like Word and TextEdit.• Small enough to easily fit in pocket; not
much bigger than a flash drive.• Storage capacity = 2GB or roughly 4-6
hours of audio. • When converting the voice file to text,
the focus is put on one main voice. Noise cancellation will ensure that the text will not include background noise and whispering voices.

The Specs• Upon uploading the recording to a
computer a pop up menu would allow for several options:– Highlight Key Words (but ignoring
words like “the” or “is”)– Create an outline of the lecture– Compose a summary of the lecture
