Some experience with it.  Seems like promising technology.  I am not clear that they have successfully utilized it with a client though.  Many if not all of their developers can use it, but just have not seen a client with ALS (or any other) use it yet. 

 

They may be more successful using it with just yes/no, but of course, practically speaking most people can indicate that without the Audeo.  They have been working on an algorithm to allow it to recognize multiple phrases. 

 

But I would not say that it is there yet…

Has anyone else hear of this, especially those of you in the Chicago area?

 

They mention ALS a couple of times.
