It also works for when she has to go outside. No doubt about it, she's a great communicator...lol.

Kapur’s new wearable device system, can detect what you’re saying when you’re talking to yourself, even if you’re completely silent and not moving your mouth.
The technology involves a system of sensors that detect the minuscule neuromuscular signals sent by the brain to the vocal cords and muscles of the throat and tongue. These signals are sent out whenever we speak to ourselves silently, even if we make no sounds. The device feeds the signals through an A.I., which “reads” them and turns them into words. The user hears the A.I.’s responses through a microphone that conducts sound through the bones of the skull and ear, making them silent to others. Users can also respond out loud using artificial voice technology.
Kapur is currently testing the device on people with communication limitations through various hospitals and rehabilitation centers in the Boston area. These limitations could be caused by stroke, cerebral palsy or neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. In the case of ALS, the disease affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, progressively robbing people of their ability to use their muscles, including those that control speech. But their brains still send speech signals to the vocal cords and the 100-plus muscles involved in speaking. AlterEgo can capture those signals and turn them into speech. According to Kapur’s research, the system is about 92 percent accurate.

I only speak Tifinagh. It's lonely sometimes.

I just got off the phone with the service manager who told that my vehicle still isn’t ready. If I had been wearing this device, he would have heard something a lot different than the civil voice I was using.
Talking to yourself is fine...
Answering yourself is fine...
The problem is when you respond, “I’m sorry, what did you say?”
Will be great for interrogations...So much for the right to remain silent...
He was awesome.
Prosecutor:
AlterEgo testified specifically and emphatically that you threatened to douse an honorable ranking elected Democratic public servant with a deluge of an hundred milkshakes. What do you have to say for yourself now?
Defendant:
I never sub-vocalized that to myself!
Prosecutor:
Your Honor, I move to have that response stricken from the record, as non-verifiable non-hearsay!
Judge:
Objection sustained. In light of this obvious future thought crime, we find the defendant guilty as charged.
I think what she’s really thinking is, “Why don’t you pick up around here.”
But you must think in Russian!!
RUSSIAN COLLUSION!!!!
