Hawking, 73, who has a motor neuron disease and is almost entirely paralyzed, relies on technology and that famous computer-generated voice to allow him to share his thoughts with the world. His system got a modern upgrade from Intel engineers in December, which Hawking showed off at a London event.
Intel said it was able to increase the efficiency of Hawking's system by integrating predictive text technology from SwiftKey. The software knows Hawking's communication patterns, meaning he has to type less than 20 percent of all characters to convey what he wants to say.
The result is a system that allows Hawking to type faster, browse the Internet much easier and seamlessly switch between tasks.
