Have you ever thought that being able to talk on your cellphone by simply moving your lips or talking silently could even be possible someday? Well it might just be, maybe even sooner than we thought possible. Unveiled by Professor Tanja Shultz at German electronics fair Cebit, a device has been developed which can record what a person is saying, even if it is inaudible by measuring tiny electrical signals produced by the muscles involved in speech and then generate the thought using synthesized voice. It even automatically translates one language into another language making it an instant translation system. The device uses electromyography, which is more usually used to diagnose nerve damage, and currently requires nine electrodes to be stuck to the user’s face. Doesn’t sound good? Maybe it doesn’t but inventions have to start somewhere and it improves as it progresses over time. Furthermore, this invention will benefit those who have lost their voices through illness or accidents to speak through a cellphone or a computer.
