Assistive Technology Reviews- NEW

Greg from Pitt Rehab is doing a series of reviews on assistive technology at the above link (just click above). He asked me to do a guest review on my SmartNAV 3 head cursor and there are reviews on a number of devices - including a remote controlled deadbolt door device and microphone for voice recognition.

Spread the word online so that folks can benefit from this resource!

I enjoyed your reviews though I have to say I would be paranoid that my deadbolt would run out of battery juice stuff and lock me inside. But that is because everything I own seems to die spontanously, particularly if electronic.

The headset and microphone reviews were very thorough though again I wonder with the headset at what point did just using a computer require such knowledge of upgrades, downloads, reboots and such (I think of my parents who can't quite figure out email).

hi
the deadbolt gives audible sounds when locking and unlocking. It also beeps to signal low battery. Hope that helps!
