Communicating with our masked and face-shielded coworkers during this current pandemic is difficult, as the various protective layers muffle the voice.

Voice recognition technology translates the spoken word into a scrolling text similar to that at the bottom of television news broadcasts and displays it on the face shield.

This is brilliant. Obviously, it would need a microphone inside the (inner-most) face-mask; or REALLY good voice- recognition software...

Well the lettering scrolls sideways and I don't think it is speech-to-text but, yup.
