Audeo NeckBand Voicless Phone Calls

Fantastic! isn't !?

This is one of the latest new input devices. It is a neckband that translates thought into speech. The Audeo sensor is a highly integrated, extremely sensitive sensor of neurological activity. It noninvasively detects electrical activity at the surface of the skin. The Audeo actively processes this activity to make it a robust control signal. This control signal can then be connected to a speech engine in various ways to give back to a person, the ability to communicate. By interpreting and picking up nerve signals has been used to demonstrate a voiceless phone call. The name of this device is think n spell. Some scientists at Ambient Corporation are bent on improving their "Audeo" wireless neckband which taps into nerve signals being sent to the vocal chords and vocalizes those "thoughts" for you. Users have to specifically think about voicing words for them to be picked up by the band, but it saves them from saying potentially sensitive things while on a cellphone in public. The device is also being aimed at those who have lost the ability to speak due to diseases. Currently the device can only recognize roughly 150 words and phrases, and has a decent delay between "speaking" with your mind and the computer vocalizing the words for you though it still needs upgrade. This device can make the current communication technology take a step forward. This device can also be used for military purposes because of its stealth features the device can be used by the SWAT forces in America for surprise tactics instead of the hand sign ways.

This device was introduced by Michael Callahan in the USA. The process of this device is from the neurological transmissions or vibrations it transforms into audio then it encrypts the vibrations with the audio then it transmits it into the cpu of the device then it sends a signal to the phone or to another device and by that they can communicate with each other.
