Teenager from India invents device that can convert breath to speech
A high school student from India has invented a device that can convert a person’s breath into speech, to give millions of people around the world suffering from speech impediment a ‘voice’ for the first time.
Sixteen-year-old Arsh Shah Dilbagi has developed a new technology called ‘TALK’, which is a cheap and portable device to help people who are physically incapable of speaking express themselves. Right now, 1.4 percent of the world’s population has very limited or no speech, due to conditions such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), locked-in syndrome (LIS), Encephalopathy (SEM), Parkinson’s disease, and paralysis.
His name is Arsh Shah Dilbagi and he’s 16 years old. Gettin tired of sensationalized “mystery baby from a country where people are brown does a science thing!” articles. Use peoples names, don’t act so surprised when people of color are geniuses.
hey i just wanted to update this post with a better link to contact the dude’s school who was involved in this. that link up there is for like technical difficulties with educational software i dont think its the best way to contact anyone about this
I genuinely see it as a big deal that Thrandy shares his wine with bard. Like, that stuffs probably Dorwinion. And I bet no-one else who was there got any. Only Bard. Cause he and Thrandy are bros now.
While Rowling’s problem with representation is shitty, I just want to reiterate that this article title is misleading, if only to the fact that she did not, in fact, announce anything. Someone asked her on Twitter whether there were any Jewish Hogwarts students, and she responded, “yes, of course” and named Anthony Goldstein as an example, as he was the first Jewish student she created and was named for one of her friends. She did not get up on a podium, announce this, and then expect applause as this headlines makes out.
I’m in no way making excuses for her behavior when it comes to her treatment of minority characters or the vast lack thereof (the Dumbledore issue, for example, or Snape and Hermione both being coded Jewish in all but name, also the goblins), but this distinction is important to make for credibility’s sake.
