An automated typewriter that takes dictation.

A few details: Some code running on my laptop (off screen) uses Windows' voice recognition to turn speech to text. Commands for the typing mechanism are then sent to the Pololu servo controller. The Arduino Uno and Big Easy Driver control the carriage return arm and are signaled when the new line routine is called.

The "arms" move on short linear rail segments. I cut the custom parts out of acrylic on a friend's CNC (thanks to kiteandrocket.com).
