Like it or not, communicating with smart devices has become a huge part of our lives.  For people with disabilities, this communication can be an essential part of making it through the day.  However these devices have a hard time understanding speech that is outside what they've heard before. Google has launched an effort called Project Euphonia to retrain our devices to understand people who have speech impairments.  Bob MacDonald is one of the leaders of the project and he joins The Dudes to talk about the project and how we can all help out.
