Inspired by the aunty mutter. So now you have a device that translates the muttering into something understandable, but what if they never ever finish the sentence? Often find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the person to finish their thought? This makes a perfect gift for your
aging parents.
This device has two features: 1) an audio amplifier, as often the sentence is complete but just muttered at too low a volume. It senses decreasing audio volume and amplifies to compensate 2) an electric prod that is activated only when the person trails off to an unintelligible ending. As the user becomes accustomed the pavlovian response will actually train them to complete sentences instead of being prodded.
It will be fully compatible with Aunty-Mutter technology.

of course the ultimate is when you can just sit there and say nothing at all, since you already know that they know you already know what they were going to say. |
