Think N' Spell neckband talks on phone without talking

Okay, yeah it only recognizes 150 words and it takes like an hour to process three words... but the idea is cool.

The way the Think N' Spell prototype works is the neckband intercepts the nerve signals being sent to your vocal cords, and translates it into words without you having to open your mouth. The technology is aimed at allowing victims of such conditions as Lou Gehrig's Disease to talk on the phone after their body has made that impossible though tradition means.

It's a great idea but the practicality of Think N' Spell neckbands will only get worse before it gets better. In an effort to enlarge the neckband's vocabulary, the next generation will focus on identifying phonemes rather than entire words, making word recognition that much slower.
