Hi again, Tim.
In the spirit of paying it forward, after the community raised funds for my new scooter, I was inspired to start a GoFundMe campaign to get voice dictation software for Dr. Jim C. Alan, a friend and resident at the Life Care Center where I volunteer.
Jim lives with advanced MS and he had a goal to write a book about one of his favorite subjects, artificial intelligence.
Bill Cumming, Beth Helstien, Trish Lehman and my Mom, Cynthia Elliott raised the $150 for the software. Beth Helstien from the Library managed the account for me and she’ll be ordering the software for Jim soon. Now we just need to get an updated Mac Laptop with OS 10.8 and he’ll be all set. If anyone has any leads on a new or refurbished Mac laptop for Jim with OS 10.8 or higher, compatible with Jim’s new speech dictation software, please notify Beth Helstien at the library, Bill Cumming, me, or Sallie Hollenbach Durette at the Life Care Center
Be well,
Aaron
