IIT Guwahati Develops Sensor to Convert Exhaled Air Into Voice Commands
Imagine a sensor that can understand what you're saying just by the air you breathe out!
Scientists at IIT Guwahati made one.
It's for people who can't speak normally.
They breathe out, which makes tiny waves in water.
The sensor picks up these waves and figures out what the person is trying to say using a special computer program.
It can even be used to control things without needing to make any sound!
This cool gadget could help people talk to others and use smart devices.
IIT Guwahati developed an underwater sensor for voice recognition.
The sensor uses exhaled air to detect speech patterns.
It is designed for individuals with voice disabilities.
The sensor employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for signal interpretation.
Potential applications include communication, exercise tracking, and underwater sensing.
