Deaf Enabled to “See” Words
INVENTION MAY GO FAR TOWARDS NEW THINGS
Received Friday, 10.45 p.m. NEW YORK, NOV. 8.
Bell Telephone Laboratories demonstrated the photographing of the human voice and other sounds and their reproduction immediately on a screen, enabling a deaf student of the system to sound the signs and repeat the spoken word correctly, whereas previously he made strange noises in an effort to speak. The demonstrators say the device is not ready for the market and the surface is just scratched, but they are confident it will go far toward new things. It is possible that the system is applicable to the telephone, enabling the deaf to “see” the words of the speaker at the other end.
