(*when one becomes paralyzed because of a computer can't cook can't wash can't read a book can't type one tries to learn          the proper program the new software’s a kind of prosthetic             one can     continue to work in this case by voice   program a recognition  microphone headset commands you    don't even have to touch     the keys just leave it on just leave it on             to translate the surround and the surround is this is what  it “heard”:

a six pack cuts

pitched to can

goes to to
