The Ambient Corporation has developed a technology that allows for
voiceless phone calls. The gadget is in the form of a neckband and and
translates thought into speech by picking up nerve signals from the
vocal cords.
I can still talk verbally at the same time. We can differentiate between when you want to talk silently, and when you want to talk out loud. That could be useful in certain situations. As of now, the gadget build demonstrated to the microchip manufacturer Texas Instruments can only recognize about 150 words and phrases. Michael Callahan said that an improved version without vocabulary limit will be released this year.
