New AI-powered patch lets wearers speak without vocal cords

“The patch-like device [developed at UCLA] is comprised of a self-powered sensing component — one that detects and converts signals produced by muscle movements into high-fidelity, analyzable electrical signals, which are then translated into speech signals via a machine-learning algorithm. The device also features an actuation component, which turns the speech signals into the intended voice expression.”   MORE
