Sprint Offers Captions for Hearing Impaired

News by Ricky Cadden on Thursday March 06, 2008.

Sprint yesterday announced a new feature being provided for free to its hearing impaired subscribers. Sprint customers need only their handset and a computer with internet access to login and have their phone call automatically converted to text in near real-time.

WebCapTel, from Sprint, is a free web-based speech-to-text service that not only offers a captioned version of thephone conversation, but also allows users to change the font size, color, and save a transcript of the conversation, for future reference. Given the price and the recording feature, Sprint's new WebCapTel is likely a good feature for business professionals, as well.

Cheerleading coming to the Wii and DS Lite

I want to feel all indignant about developing a cheerleading game for girls on the DS and Wii, and yet somehow... the... words... just... won't... come... feeling... all... perky... can't... stop... flicking... hair. There are few details currently known, just that it's being developed by Gorilla Games (who made a Hannah Montana game) and will use the Wiimote for an active cheerleader workout on the Wii, and the touchscreen on the DS. It is set at a cheerleading camp, and you're supposed to try to beat rival teams.





Geek chic: Tetris ice cube tray

Hands up who doesn't like Tetris. Anyone? Anyone? No matter how advanced all the latest computer games are, everyone harbours a soft spot for reordering bricks in different ways, and now you can play with them as 3D ice cubes! Simply fill, freeze and pop into your drink/play. It's the coolest way to serve cocktails, dontcha know?
