Hand to Mouth: Assistive Technology

About My Blog

I am hemiplegic by birth, and close to increasing the prefix by accident. So, I’m trying to be prepared. My main purpose for this particular blog is to review assistive technology products — they’re not exactly raging popular items on Amazon — and general musings on disability and/or accessibility will find their way in here by default, especially nonverbal learning disability.  Most of the things that I review here are things that I own, though occasionally they may be trial downloads or devices I borrowed from friends. I try not to mention things I have not used, but occasionally I’ll post an interesting article or two that mentions something out of my league. I apologize if things ever get redundant, but that was the idea of this blog: have a place to put the disability related stuff so those that want it can read it, and those that don’t want it don’t have to. Besides, assistive technology fascinates me and I’m always amazed at what people come up with. I think it’s turning into a hobby. :-)

If you want to suggest a tech-related item or otherwise contact me, email hand2mouthtech@gmail.com.

    Hi my friend. “hand2mouth” is in my bookmarks. I must admit this is the first blog I ran into that speaks about interfacing to the computer for people with disabilities. I myself had to learn how to live and do my job after acquiring various disabilities due to connecting tissue disorder couple of years ago. I have to give you credit for having courage to invest your valuable will and physical power into the blog about this because there are no interests for that amongst healthy people. I know how painful “simple” typing can be, but I guess you use speech recognition like me.

    Hi, and thank you. I’m glad it does some good. I do mostly use my voice, but occasionally I miss the alphabet, so on a really good day I’ll try to cheat and use something else, to varying success. Your point about contact info is well-taken; one thing I neglected to do was set up an email specifically for the blog. No brainer, eh? But I’ll put up a contact link momentarily. Thanks for the reminder!

    Just wanted to drop you a line to say, I enjoy reading your site. I thought about starting a blog myself but don’t have the time.
    Oh well maybe one day…. :)
