Cell phone users typically fall into one of two categories; those who hate them and use them only when absolutely necessary and those who seem to have been born with a cell phone in their hand.

Those who hate cell phones will generally get quite upset while sitting in a movie, a restaurant, bookstore, etc. and hear one side of someone’s conversation. What about when you’re caught behind someone talking on their cell phone in traffic? Are they really paying attention to the road or the conversation that can’t wait.

Many people today use their cell phones as their primary form of contact. Cell phones are not longer a luxury but a necessity for most people.

We can check e-mail, conduct research, do business or simply chat with the hundreds of people in our personal phone book.

One computer program offers a solution for the cell phone savvy and those who prefer a corded telephone so your conversation is certain to remain private. Audeo is a combination of software and hardware that actually translates your thoughts into speech via your cell phone. Sound impossible? Not anymore.

The way Audeo technology works is that it picks up nerve signals as they are traveling on the way to the vocal cords. The nerve signals are intercepted and translated by a computer modulated voice. Audeo works best when the user trains themselves to think something without trying to actually say it.

The technology of Audeo was of course not designed for the person who just wants their telephone conversations to remain private while in a public place. The purpose of it is to benefit people who have lost the ability to speak due to neurological diseases. The system isn’t able to recognize words at this point. It simply matches a pattern of nerve signals to one of 150 different words or phrases.
