Nintendo and NTT DoCoMo are reportedly teaming up in order to create a voice-to-text system that’ll help hearing-impaired children study. Using a modified DSi, speech is converted into text which is then archived in the cloud — accessible afterward as a learning aid. That way, a teacher can have their words instantly typed up for reading by the students, who can also play interactive games to help them get along. Trials of the system are being held in Tottori and Okinawa Prefectures, with the overall aim of letting them use it as a universal translator outside the classroom. We’re worried we’d be too tempted to swap out Tactical Assault during maths class.
