It would be great, if we can chat on the phone with out making any noise.The article "Lip reading mobile promises end to noisy phone calls " in BBC News showed that an end of the loud talking on their mobile will come soon .
The article mentioned that the tiny electrical signals produced by muscles can be use to generate synthesised speech. At the Cebit electronics fair in Germany,the prototype of the silent communication system uses nine electrodes that are stuck to a user's face. There is a software translates the signals into text, which can then be spoken by a synthesiser. This technology will benifit to help people who have lost their voice due to illness or accident.Moreover,we could speak in our mother tongue and the text could be translated into another language.
This article make me interesting so much. It shows that a new technology can make our life better. In the future, we can talk to other prople without making any noise and can communicate to other prople who use another language by using our language. I cann't wait to see the commercial lunch of this technology. May be this technology will change our way to communicate with other people.

I'm certain that this is a good news for many people, both who have a problem about their voice and normal ones who have a problem about speaking other languages. It might be good to have a new technology that can help people who lose their voices to be able to speak by themselves again. I'm the one who look forward to this technology becuase I would like to communicate with people in many languages. However, I have one question in my mind. We use this technology to help us translate our speech in our mother tongue into other languages when speaking, right? How about when listening? Are there any technology that help us translate the voice in other languages to our mother tongue? If not, how does it help people to communicate with others more effectively?
ReplyDeleteSOunds great. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Earth's article, so don't know if it discussed this or not, but like Kate, I also had a question about listening. I sometimes have great trouble hearing the other person when I take a call on the street. It would be great to perhaps have a system that by-passed the ear in the same way.
If telephone can translate our native language to other language, do we have to learn English further?
