See the link of this medical doctor who had cancer, and gives a
speech about it in a whispering voice.
If he and others would have "whisper to voice" software we could
listen to their discussions in a much easier way.
It would also be useful for the workspace, and the train ride,
where
you want to talk privately, and quietly, and to show your
consideration for the other people riding with you or working in
the nearby cubicle.

No remarks? Will it not work? |

/No remarks?/
The fading of the halfbakery, I am afraid. |

But this could be done. Voice recognition software now is excellent and some software can learn; for example, a foreign accent. Voice recognition should be able to learn your whisperer and restate his whispers using Microsoft Sam or comparable machine voice. |

Or he could whisper into a microphone and with added loudening, route that through some stacks of amps borrowed from AC/DC. |
|
| |
Side note: I learned that speech recognition could not distinguish 2 different whistled tones. |
|
| |
Or you could implant sensors to determine the muscle
movements of the jaw/tongue/larynx and simulate the vocal
tract to determine what was intended to be said, then
synthesize it electronically using the same formants and
model of the vocal tract. In fact you might be able to cut
out the middle man and get those signals directly from the
brain. |

Hi gtoal. Thanks for the remark. I want to make something
that just works out of the box with a microphone and no need
for any implants. |
|

I tried all kinds of existing vocoder affects and none worked.
We'll need to have some kind of algorithm, where speech
reco would drive the artificial vocoder. |

Maybe look into throat microphones designed to pick
up subvocalization. IIRC, the US Army was looking into
that a few years ago for silent communications between
soldiers. |
