Warmware: RemAUDIO

RemAUDIO, by me.



People are arguably the strongest support network – why? Well, one reasoning we can determine from this is the fact that people are complexly intelligent individuals who have motivation to check up on you. At any rate, people are the basis for a quality system of reminding – combining that insight with the notion of audio and phones, I’ve created RemAUDIO.

RemAUDIO is a warmware system that allows you to take any digitally stored data that is being used in the context of a calender or schedule, and then upload that data so that you are able to receive a set of audio reminders via your cell phone. A powerpoint including all of this data is available in the title link.



RemAUDIO works in a few basic steps -

First: Take data from scheduling tool – either Palm or the computer – and upload that data onto either your cell phone or the specific website. Either way, you must register with the website in order to download the cellphone software or upload. Registering requires the telephone number you wish to be called at.

If website: After data is uploaded, select category of clips you would like for reminders. The site will automatically correlate the specific reminder with an appropriate phrase depending on the kind of audio chosen, or text-to-speech audio is available.



If Cell phone: Confirm the data transfer on one’s cell phone and activate the alarm system.

You’re done! Get ready to be reminded.

How it works: You will receive phone calls at the times you have specified in your digital schedule, reminding you of what you desire to be reminded about.

Customization: You are able to customize the audio you hear when you are called; with either a selection from previously stored audio or basic text-to-speech digital audio.

For example - if you wish direct audio reminders, you can use the text-to-speech software which would sound like this.

Or if you wish for something a bit more tied to popular culture and have a hair appointment to meet, then you could use this.

This system is ideal for users suffering from memory loss due to acquired brain injury because it can be direct with reminders as well as poentially re-conciling them with popular culture without having to rely on other individuals for these direct reminders.
