My electric toothbrush makes a pretty good vocoder
already,
except that I cant really pronounce words, but only do
Tuvan-
like harmonics. If the vibrating sound was amplified and
shot
right out the end of the brush and into my mouth, I could
sing
"do you feel like I do" every morning,
with the Tuvan
harmonics too. And then maybe add in an accelerator, so
that you could have some tone of voice action going on,
rather than just mr. robotic screen reader circa 1990.

You make a toothbrush that does this...

[+] yes OK, except for the fact that my terrible eyesight made me read *Voodoo Tooth Brush*!! (now I"m wondering what that would be!) |
|
| |
This is probably one of the best ideas I've seen here for a
while. You could actually make this, sell it, and get rich. |
|
| |
If you used an ultrasonic toothbrush, could you sing to the bats? |
|
| |
I'm not sure I've ever liked an invention on the HB
as much as this. |
|
| |
They already have toothbrushes with speakers in
them that play music until it's time to stop
brushing so this would be a mere tweak to
presently sold mechanisms. Your startup costs
would be the patent and going to one of those
companies with your design and an easily made
prototype. |
|
| |
This would be a huge seller. Please patent this
and sell it. I'll buy the first one. |

Fantastic. And the dentist's vacuum tube could double as a talkbox mouthpiece, for full on Zapp dental funk workout. |
|
| |
[dre3], wow - the first thing I thought of was "Show me the way" from "Peter Frampton comes alive" |
|
| |
Believe it or not, I'm very experienced with these things having used them professionally for many years back in the day. Stage versions need to be pretty powerful but if it's just being used in the bathroom, you could get away with powering it with a double A. |
|
| |
Can you imagine the commercial for this? The kid doesn't want to brush and T-Pain busts in holding a couple of these saying (in talk box voice) "You got to take care o' your grill bay-bay" or whatever the current urban patois is for "brush your teeth." Then show the kids happily talk boxing their favorite songs, the parents looking happily on. |
|
| |
Then for parents like me who can't stand modern rap, show the rock version doing "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi or something. Not sure kids would be hip to Frampton but this might be a way to introduce them. |
|
| |
You've published this so I believe you have a year to patent it. Start with a provisional patent, costs a hundred bucks and seals in your priority filing date. Then get a book called "Patent It Yourself" by Nolo Press in Texas. Even if you use a patent attorney, learn the process. You'll be making what's called a "utility patent" vs a design or plant patent. |
|
| |
Really, dude, do this thing. Need some help with the prototype I'll help you out. I'm super cereal about this. |
|
| |
A couple years back I saw an ad for a kids toothbrush that plays music through vibrations. I wouldn't be surprised if this idea is already patented. |
|
| |
Yea, it's already close. My kid has one of those and it already is a talk box kind of. |
|
| |
I'd check the patent office. |
|
| |
Bumped because I had this exact idea right down to the Frampton, earlier today. It was shortly after the beef jerky candy bar, another non-starter. |
