Guwahati, Aug. 4 -- In a breakthrough that could transform communication for people with speech disabilities, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, in collaboration with Ohio State University, have developed a underwater vibration sensor that enables soundless, contactless voice recognition.
This innovation could pave the way for a new generation of assistive technologies, particularly for those who cannot use traditional voice-command systems due to vocal cord impairment or speech disorders.
The research, recently published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, combines cutting-edge material science with artificial intelligence to detect and interpret the breath patterns produced when someone attempts ...
