A device called the Audeo, developed by Ambient converts your thoughts into speech allowing for a voiceless telephone conversation or, as described in the video below, could be used in conjunction with Wi-Fi to do a quick Internet search, in your head... so to speak, or not? The Audeo is worn around your neck and interprets the signals the brain sends to your vocal cords, apparently even when you just think of a word the brain send the signal. The Audeo recognizes about 150 words and phrases currently and is said to be at the state that voice recognition software was at in the early days. The device is being promoted as not only having applications for the speech impaired but also for those of us who would choose not to speak out load. I was not blown away by the video but considering it is early stages it is still impressive... until of course, someone discovers the man behind the curtain ;-)
