Latest Technology Trends
You are in a movie theater or noicy restaurent or a bus etc where there is lot of noice around is big issue while talking on a mobile phone. But in the future this problem is eliminated with ”silent sounds”, a new technology unveiled at the CeBIT fair on Tuesday that transforms lip movements into a computer-generated voice for the listener at the other end of the phone.
The device, developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), uses electromyography, monitoring tiny muscular movements that occur when we speak and converting them into electrical pulses that can then be turned into speech, without a sound uttered.
‘Silent Sound’ technology aims to notice every movements of the lips and transform them into sounds, which could help people who lose voices to speak, and allow people to make silent calls without bothering others. Rather than making any sounds, your handset would decipher the movements your mouth makes by measuring muscle activity, then convert this into speech that the person on the other end of the call can hear. So, basically, it reads your lips.
“We currently use electrodes which are glued to the skin. In the future, such electrodes might for example by incorporated into cellphones,” said Michael Wand, from the KIT.
The technology opens up a host of applications, from helping people who have lost their voice due to illness or accident to telling a trusted friend your PIN number over the phone without anyone eavesdropping — assuming no lip-readers are around.
The technology can also turn you into an instant polyglot. Because the electrical pulses are universal, they can be immediately transformed into the language of the user’s choice.
“Native speakers can silently utter a sentence in their language, and the receivers hear the translated sentence in their language. It appears as if the native speaker produced speech in a foreign language,” said Wand.
The translation technology works for languages like English, French and Gernan, but for languages like Chinese, where different tones can hold many different meanings, poses a problem, he added.
Noisy people in your office? Not any more. “We are also working on technology to be used in an office environment,” the KIT scientist told AFP.
The engineers have got the device working to 99 percent efficiency, so the mechanical voice at the other end of the phone gets one word in 100 wrong, explained Wand.
“But we’re working to overcome the remaining technical difficulties. In five, maybe ten years, this will be useable, everyday technology,” he said.
sir can u give me complete details of it bcoz i want 2 present a ppt on it.
plese send me the complete word document of silent sound technology
sir its a great concept I liked that concept,it will be very helpfull in the noisy metropoliten cities like mumbai and others. can u sent me a full concept so that I can present a paper on it on my email id, I hope so u will consider my request thank you
it is amazing i request u to say its working principle.
sir, i want it in detail information plz ,i m interested in this
Awesome technology…… The name “SILENT SOUND TECHNOLOGY” is sounding different. But the gluement of electrodes to the skin may become barrier to the user….. sir, plz mail me detailed report on this technology…. eagerly waiting for it…..thank you.
can you send more information regarding this technology…and send me the technologies you used
please please forward me the working in detail…. as i am very much like to know the working principle. i have to some think in to this project…. please forward details about the project in mail
HI BRAINY… i was disappointed after reading it … could u send me the principles and working details … to my mail … i want to get more information regarding this .. please reply me quick… i’m waiting for your reply….

realy a great invention………
really amazing..sir can u give me complete details of it bcoz i want 2 present a ppt on it.
I am doing my M.E. I am interestid in doing my project on Silent Sound Technology. I would like to get more information regarding Silent Sound Technology. Can anyone help me get more information on this. Please send me any details on this Technology to vignesh_is2001@yahoo.com
I wasn’t aware of the strange tongue that is gernan. Very interesting though would defiantly be nice in call centre environments I’m betting.
hai sir please send me the detailed techniques used in silent sound and explain the working principles
Hi
What a superb idea send the full concept… to my ID….
Plz pay attention,as i m going to give report on this tec. so i need more detail abt this tec.. so plz please forward this detail to my email…plzzz

Hi
Sounds amazing, imagine all encryption of data could be tossed away like in skype and make communication faster and a lot less complicated.
Could you please explain it a bit more …
Its wonderful.But may I know that what voice will be heard by the person on the other hand.
Will it be voice of that person using this gadget or will it be computer generated voice.
