  • Methods and apparatuses for myoelectric-based speech processing
    Patent number: 8082149
    Abstract: A method for myoelectric-based processing of speech. The method includes capturing a myoelectric signal from a user using at least one electrode, wherein the electrode converts an ionic current generated by muscle contraction into an electric current. The method also includes amplifying the electric current, filtering the amplified electric current, and converting the filtered electric current into a digital signal. The method further includes transmitting the myoelectric signal to a digital device, transforming the digital signal into a written representation using an automatic speech recognition method, and generating an audible output from the written representation using a speech synthesis method.
