NORA
The details you need later are rarely the ones you thought to write down at the time.
Why this matters
Memory is unpredictable. Capturing the moment a cue is spoken, rather than asking someone to remember to record it, catches more of what actually matters.
- Current idea
- NORA records short audio snippets triggered by keywords to support memory recall. It listens for specific cue words and automatically captures a brief recording, helping people remember appointments, names, places, and other details from their day, then prompts follow-up questions to log the relevant information.
- Accessibility notes
- Hands-free activation, voice-driven playback, and simple audio cues instead of dense interfaces.
- What was learned
- The best memory aid is the one that records before you realize you needed to.
