Speech-to-Rebus
If phone-text is going to full of icons, then at least make them harder to interpret. | |
A typical phone-text app now offers access to a large number of little pictures as alternatives to words.
Hook up such an app to voice-recognition software - but, instead of just writing a picture of a thing named, have the software pluck out from the stream of phonemes any sequence which can be
mapped to any picture in the library, where words map to pictures many-to-many.
A groan-slider widget sets the level of permissible machine-generated bad punning.
An ex-rebus mode, combined with a high slider setting, allows this software to be used as a crude means to encrypt communication.
Ideally, advanced rebus constructions* would also be supported, but the algorithm for that would not be trivial.
*Such as the famous postal address

Presumably there will be a "maximum boost" setting, marked "HB" ... |

No relation to the detective? |

Presumably not - unless transmission is in Morse. |

More likely to be a message from Fax Mulder ... |

That's definitely the way it works. |
