Man, I'm a medical student and I was thinking about trying to build something like this two years ago with another med student who's also an engineer. But never really found enough time to work on it. I'm glad someone went ahead and did it though, and I have to admit their version is a lot more integrated than what we were planning on cobbling together.
Oh and I was also thinking that some kinda like, hookup to a computer would make reading stuff off the internet way faster for the blind too. Having to sit around and listen to a computer voice slowly speak off pages is pretty lame, but if you had one of these on the desk while you were browsing the internet it'd make surfing the net a lot more enjoyable. Hope they make it work like that too so it's not just limited to ebooks or I might have to actually attempt my crackheaded and cobbled together version.
