Jim - it all sounds great.  Anything that will help anyone to access
information.  I try to keep a very open mind.  Some cannot use facial, body or
eye contact.  Some cannot access a keyboard for lack of reach and many other
reasons.  Morse code requires only a slight movement of the hand.  As I said
earlier the code is only for access to the keyboard/commands etc.  You would
not hear the code - you would hear and/or see the words.  Speech recognition
is not for those that cannot talk etc.  Interesting idea.  I am a sighted
person that knows the Morse Code because it was the only way I communicate
with my son in the beginning 24 years ago.  It does have advantages for the
extremely disabled.  We should all keep an open mind.

Pat
