Release date: 2014-09-16 There are developmental barriers in 1.4% of the world's population (equivalent to the German population), such as the recent ice-barrel challenge fundraising campaign for the Frozen People (ALS), Locking Syndrome (LIS), etc., famous British scientists. Hawking is a frozen person. This type of population often has difficulty in expression and communication barriers. Due to lack of expression, it is expected to have an average life expectancy of 20 years less than the general population. At present, its only means of expression is the Enhanced or Alternative Communication Device (AAC). But general AAC devices often cost thousands of dollars, and their input speed is not fast enough, and the equipment is cumbersome. So at the 2014 Google Science Contest (2014 Google Science Fair, an online competition for young people aged 13-18), 16-year-old Indian boy Arsh Shah Dilbagi is determined to come up with a solution to this problem. His answer is — TALK, an inexpensive, lightweight, efficient, and versatile AAC device. TALK is a device that converts human breathing into letters, and its principle is similar to binary. The device requires the user to be able to make two distinguishable exhalation sounds (intensity and duration), and then use the MEMS Microphone to convert the two exhalations into electrical signals. The electrical signal is then processed by the microprocessor - a short exhalation will be represented by a dot, a long exhalation will be represented by a dash, and then further resolved into a Morse code, which is then converted into a word/sent to another The microprocessor synthesizes and reads it out. TALK has two modes of operation, one is AC mode, users can communicate with people in English, and the other is command mode, where users can give special instructions or phrases using 9 different sounds. According to the inventor, the device is three times more efficient than the average AAC and costs less than $100. His invention is currently in the finals of the Google Science Competition. Arsh plans to further optimize TALK in the future. For example, adding automatic forecasting, integration with Google Glass, etc., to make the world of the frozen people better. Relatively speaking, his efforts may be more meaningful than those of the ice bucket challenge.
