Stream
Stream is a voice-controlled ring and app for capturing notes, chatting, dictating across apps, and controlling music.
Stream combines a private voice ring with an iOS app. Users hold the ring to speak, capture and organize notes, chat through ideas, search the web, dictate across apps, and control music with gestures.
It is designed for people who think or work while moving. Notes, music controls, and a limited amount of dictation are free; unlimited dictation, chat, and memory require the Data Plan. Some features require internet access, and the ring is sold separately.
