This is good...I remember back in the late 80’s - I had a Yamaha RX7 Keyboard - it came with a “breath” input for those that wanted to play wind instruments and record it as if they were playing...breathing out at different intensities would create the sound of an actual wind instrument...
Using Morse code is the same principle. My son has CP and uses the iPad with a talking program called LAMP...there are alot of people that use that as well...
Cool about the Yamaha RX7 Keyboard!
I agree with what you said. This teenager is about to become very wealthy.
Hopefully so - the platform is simple - I hope he got a patent and didn’t send the design to China first!
It does not convert breath into speech. It converts morse code, expressed in breaths, into words. Amazing and clever device, but it should be described correctly in the headline.
I bet he’s NOT moslem.
Does it slur the words for you if you’ve been drinking?
Good question? LOL!
I’m thinking only if it indicates a BAC over 0.08!
LOL!
