Talking by text
|
London, UK (ZDNet): A middleware company called OpenCloud (not to be confused with WLAN provider The Cloud) has been in touch to make us aware of a Dutch charity for the hearing-impaired, which is using its "device-agnostic" Rhino platform for a pretty cool service. The charity, called AnnieS, is using a real-time "talk-by-text" service developed by TNO ICT and operatored (is that a word?) by KPN. Basically, it lets you chat in real time, i.e. as you type a letter it appears on the other person's screen.
