What are my high-tech options for the Japanese language?  The patient's hands work fairly well at this point in time.  Her cognition is intact.  Energy level is low and she feels overwhelmed by the disease.  She is bilingual Japanese/English and I originally wanted a Lightwriter for her because of it's simplicity and her caretaker and husband speak English.  A friend of hers contacted me saying the patient prefers to use Japanese and really wants the bilingual high-tech.
