Dyslexia is an advantage.
Ooh - it's here. Iphone 4S has even better speech command capabilities. In the video below, check out Siri, the iphone's digital assistant. The Siri program will help a lot of dyslexics - sure it's not perfect, but it's a huge leap over previous speech-to-text programs.
Siri's good for reading and sending email and not bad at search (though still needs some work - I'm sure Apple engineers are working on it). It registers pretty well with background noise like riding in a car.
For dyslexics as well as everyone else, it means you don't have to do all that reading, typing, and spellcheck.
Do you have an iPhone 4S yet? What do you think of it?
