I've always thought it was a cool idea, but they want an awful lot of money for their half-qwerty boards.

Apparently, there used to be software emulation out there that could do the same thing, but Matias has successfully blocked those from distribution.
Yeah, the price is a bit daunting to say the least. I considered one of these boards when I was really getting bad tendinitis and there was no decent speech recognition software for the Mac yet. It was also partly because I wanted a mechanical switch keyboard and hadn't yet known about all the other options available... still a cool idea. I started to get the hang of one handed typing after 15 minutes.

I think it doesn't work except for when you can take a long time to practice or when you started out on one. While your fingers won't protest to mirror the keyboard, you still need to think when to press the spacebar.
