today in Hell Yeah Technology: an uncle of mine recently had a stroke he was at dinner with his family, making them laugh as usual. when they got home, he told his wife he was feeling “off.” by morning, he physically couldn’t get out of bed after being in a vegetative state for weeks, he’s conscious and doing a little better, but doctors say it’s unlikely he’ll ever speak or walk again thankfully, somehow, his dominant arm still works - so to make communication less frustrating for everyone involved, i built this local, iPad-first communication board for him with text-to-speech one of theee simplest, most important tools i’ve ever made being able to create something useful for a specific person’s needs, without any fluff, in a single sitting, is just unreal
