I really enjoyed watching the talk and the demos. I think there's huge opportunity in a Kickstarter here, both for the gamification aspect as well as the hardware. If I could get a kit with hardware and training it could be compelling. I imagine a setup with both qwerty and steno co-existing, instead of trying to force steno to cover all text input. I think I want to use each for what it's best at.

I think there's also an activism we could have about NKRO. I had never even heard of it before watching this. If it was a feature I knew actually helped people, I would expect it to be present. At the very least, it's not too much to ask to get this feature in cheaper boards.

But seriously, as a gift at the end of the year, I can see engineers getting this. It would actually be a pretty badass gift...

I've started to see these fully split keyboards, and it makes me think, could people handle a keyboard which had two different home positions with two different keysets?

I'm imagining a left hand / right hand split qwerty, but nestled in the middle is the smaller steno board. Maybe that's crazy, but whatever the right design, there have got to be hobbyists out there who would build the prototype which you could feature.

Is that the right path? Building some kind of uber keyboard and a cute training game and trying to do it all at once? That's endorsing an almost YC approach, but it would certainly be fun if you're into that pace.

Good luck with the project! I think captioning is important, but will ultimately be replaced by software; giving the world a better way to input text universally is a very big idea. I don't think it's necessarily great for programming in today's languages, but I guess you have to think about this sort of thing on a wider time scale.
