Oct 27, 2012 05:30 am | Edwin Captioning Telephone offers something new for incoming calls Hmmm, the $99.95 Captioning Telephone is not something that you see everyday, considering how you are now able to “see” the phone calls that you cannot hear. Sporting a large, easy to read display screen, the Captioning Telephone offers free voice-to-caption service, and best of all is, you are not required to own any special equipment to get started in the first place. Senior citizens would definitely find the Captioning Telephone to be a decent addition to their arsenal of gizmos, where it works in a similar way as that of captioned TV. All words spoken by your caller will appear on a screen , scrolling right across so that you can keep up with the conversation in real time. This allows you to give a correct answer or response as though you were still in the prime of your life. It will require you to have a high speed Internet connection though, as the technology used behind the generation of voice-to-text translation is pretty data intensive. Of course, should you not need the captioning function, just turn it off and the Captioning Telephone will function like any other standard phone. Other features include adjustable volume amplification, the ability to save captions for future review, and answering machine functionality.

It is somewhat akin to asking a Formula 1 driver to sit in the cockpit of somebody else’s car and ordering them to win the race. It just does not work, as a gaming rig is a very personal machine, one that has been built from the ground up to cater to one’s whims and fancies (according to the budget on hand, of course). Having said that, one important gaming accessory that should not be overlooked would be the mousepad. After all, once you have a top notch gaming mouse, you might as well go the whole nine yards and ensure your high end gaming mouse will glide along effortlessly on a surface worthy of its Teflon feet. Enter the ROCCAT Hiro 3D Supremacy Surface Gaming Mousepad. This puppy hails from Germany, and is not quite ready for prime time action just yet. In fact, you will have to go through this Thanksgiving and Christmas without the ROCCAT Hiro 3D Supremacy in your stable of gaming peripherals, as it will only arrive in North America sometime in January next year. This is no ordinary gaming mousepad, as it opens up the category for a new high-performance cloth gaming pad. The main selling point? This is the world's first mousepad that relies on an advanced new manufacturing process which results in smooth, rounded edges that will not ever fray, even after weeks and months of (abuse) extended use. The build process has been patented, creating an inseparable "power bond" between upper and lower surfaces so that this mousepad delivers unrivaled durability. As for its gaming surface, the ROCCAT Hiro 3D Supremacy changes the game yet again, boasting of an exclusive vulcanized silicone playing field that sports a complex 3D structure, which ROCCAT claims will be able to deliver significantly increased gliding speed and control on both the X and Y axis. In short, your hand will be able to enjoy the ultimate command capability during even the most demanding of gaming sessions. Too bad there is no word on pricing at press time, but we do hope to find out more.
