Central learner is sixteen from India has developed a device that makes the breathing human language. This invention will allow millions of people with speech disabilities to speak for the first time, writes sciencealert.au
Arshia Shah Dilbagio developed technology called TALK. This is really not a mobile device, which allows the voice to express thoughts unable to speak. Currently, for diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, encephalopathy, Parkinson's disease and paralysis completely unable to talk or speech impairments to 1.4 percent. World population- about as many people as live in Germany.
A.Dilbagis managed to create such a device for performing the same functions just 80 dollars. Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has a device which helps him to speak, but the device is not cheap - costs several thousand. dollars, and is quite large.
The device uses a technology that translates human breath into electrical signals using the MEMS technology functioning microphone. This technology consists of a pressure-sensitive partitions and sound-enhancing device to increase the volume breathing.
The TALK breathing in two different ways with different intensity and frequency, the user can say the words in Morse code. Respiratory microprocessor interprets the dots and lines, then turns them into words. Then the words are sent to another microprocessor and they įgarsinami voice. The unit has nine different voices.
"After trying out a final version of the device with friends and family, we have tested this unit in a hospital in New Delhi with Parkinson's encephalopathy and impaired patients. Patients breathe into the device was able to extract a number of different signals, the device worked perfectly, "- said A.Dilbagis.
His project involved the Global Science Fair competition with competing inventions created children and adolescents aged 13 to 18 years of age. A.Dibalgis is the only finalist from Asia.
