developed the world's first* technology combining voice-recognition and
drawing functions to enable users to display their spoken words on a
tablet or smartphone by simply dragging their finger across the screen.
The technology is expected to be combined with other functions, such as,
picture drawing and multilingual translation, to help people transcend
disabilities and foreign languages for smoother global communication. Key Features World's first user interface for voice-activated drawing

With multilingual translation Words displayed on the screen can be translated into other languages and then read out automatically. With background images Stored images displayed on a screen can be overlaid with text of the speaker's words to explain the content of the images more clearly.
