Updated Resource List for Typing to Communicate

My earlier list of resources, posted in 2015, still has many active blogs and other sources of information and personal stories related to typing or spelling as a means of communication.  In the interim, many books have been published and many videos have been added.  A quick search of YouTube, for example, will yield many relevant videos.  A Google search or a visit to Wikipedia, on the other hand, will leave you in a state of total despair, since almost all references are negative in tone.    Here is an updated (but certainly not all-inclusive) list you may find interesting and/or helpful.

Some great new, or relatively new, resources for anyone interested in typing to communicate:
