# Talking Twitter Notifiers Have Your Tweets Read by the Charatter Bear By Matt Ho | Published 2011-01-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charatter-bear References: [gizmodiva](http://www.gizmodiva.com/home_gadgets/charatter_reads_your_tweets.php) & [amazon.co.jp](http://www.amazon.co.jp/WiZ-Charatter-&?tag=trenhunt0f-20) The Charatter Bear would be quite a useful computer accessory if you're sick of reading long [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget) feeds. The Charatter Bear is a [miniature blue-and-white panda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anan) that reads your tweets to you each time a new one pops up. The free software by [WiZ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-wiz) translats tweets into sounds and sends them to a speaker inside the bear in a high-pitched robotic voice. Some people might find it useful, but its wide eyes, lip movements and voice kind of creep me out. Check out the video and see for yourself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Speech-to-text Conversion:** Speech-to-text conversion technologies like the Charatter Bear provide opportunities for disruptive innovation in communication and accessibility. - **Human-computer Interaction:** The Charatter Bear highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in human-computer interaction through the use of animated characters and voice-enabled interfaces. - **Multisensory Experiences:** The Charatter Bear exemplifies the trend towards multisensory experiences in technology, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovation in entertainment and assistive technologies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Assistive Technology:** The Charatter Bear showcases disruptive innovation opportunities in the assistive technology industry by providing an alternative means of accessing social media content for visually impaired individuals. - **Consumer Electronics:** The Charatter Bear illustrates disruptive innovation possibilities in the consumer electronics industry through the integration of interactive toys with social media platforms. - **Entertainment:** The Charatter Bear presents disruptive innovation avenues in the entertainment industry by offering a unique and interactive way to engage with social media content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Teddy Bear Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tedi.md) - [AI-Powered Plush Teddies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-teddy-kumma.md) - [Storytelling AI Teddy Bears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play.md) - [Interactive Holiday Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearlieve-bear.md) - [Bionic Panda Cubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anan-bionic-panda-cub.md) - [Baby Decoder Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-bear.md) - [Bear-Themed Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinaro.md) - [Dedicated Social Media Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget.md) - [Poem-Sharing Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mood-bears.md)
