A computer accustomed to your accent may recognize your words from lapel or headset microphone input better than a stranger a meter away.
The computer is built into a backpack that connects to your sweater, which has a flexible black and white display* on the front. After a slight pause, the computer
instructs your sweater to subtitle your sentence so that others can verify what they might have missed.
