I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a significant decrease in opencalais' ability to identify entity tags, medical conditions is one in particular that i've noticed. Some are now caught as social tags, but it's not as good or as complete. I've noticed this even using the viewer.opencalais.com service.

Actually, it only returns social tags and it's still worse than past results: http://www.jeffreybarr.com/node/11726

If you will try passing the above mentioned text to http://viewer.opencalais.com you can see that apraxia, cerebral palsy are being extracted as both socialtags and as medical conditions.

Proloquo2Go provides a full-featured augmentative and alternative communication solution for people who have difficulty speaking. It provides natural sounding text-to-speech voices (INITIALLY AMERICAN ENGLISH ONLY), up-to-date symbols, powerful automatic conjugations, a default vocabulary of over 7000 items, full expandability and extreme ease of use.

Proloquo2Go is for anyone who cannot afford spending thousands of dollars on an AAC device and yet wants a solution that is just as good if not better. SLPs, teachers and parents recommend it for children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, developmental disabilities, apraxia, ALS, stroke or traumatic brain injury.

"The price is so compelling," said Dan Herlihy, owner of Connective Technology Solutions, "and the software and hardware platform Proloquo2Go runs on so radically improved over current devices in its category that if not quite a paradigm shift, markedly raises the bar for accessibility, ease of use, and affordability."

The current price is an introductory price (about 25% off) and ends with the release of version 1.1 (free update), which is expected sometime in August 2009.

INCLUDED VOICES: The current version includes North American English male, female, girl and boy voices. British English voices will soon be available as an option. Support for other languages and voices is in the pipeline.

Used to have Calais find the medical-conditions: ALS, apraxia, autism, cerebral palsy, developmental disabilities, Down syndrome and traumatic brain injury

While it now gives the social tags for apraxia and cerebral palsy, but no medical-conditions are found.
