Did you know that the human voice is one of the oldest communication tools known to humankind? It’s true! Communication via voice has been a part of human life for a time. And thanks to the many advancements in communication technology over the past few years, we are now able to use voice-activated apps, speech recognition software, and artificial intelligence to help us communicate with one another in more convenient, faster ways, and more accurate than ever before.

Even today, many people cannot use these tools due to various communication barriers. That’s why great inventions like these are so important. They’re designed with the specific needs of these people in mind and can help them communicate in ways that are easy for them to understand.

Have you ever struggled to find the right words to express your emotions and thoughts in a conversation? Who hasn’t? It’s a universal experience. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, more than 50% of people report having difficulty speaking in specific social situations. Maintaining friendships, professional relationships, and romantic ties can make it challenging.

To communicate more clearly and effectively, we often have to look beyond what’s on the surface. We consider the emotions we’re trying to convey, the words available to express them, and the context we have to communicate.

That’s why it’s not surprising that many of the world’s most innovative minds have been considering the problems we face in conversation and coming up with solutions. And some of these solutions have revolutionized the way we communicate with one another.

Here are some of the best inventions that will change how we communicate with one another.

The Future of Communication-Based Inventions

Artificial intelligence is the future of communication. It’s already being used in virtual assistants like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and virtual assistance apps like Microsoft’s Cortana.

These AI assistants are programmed to understand human speech and can filter through millions of queries per day to provide users with contextual answers to their questions. AI is also being used to improve language translation.

Text-To-Speech

Text-to-speech (TTS) technology converts written words into synthesized speech. TTS software that converts audio files is called an audio reader. An audio reader reads text aloud into a recording device that transfers the audio signal to a speaker. The recorded audio is then transferred to a computer, where it is converted into virtual text, which is then recorded by the voice synthesizer.

The best text-to-speech software applications read books and other printed materials, help with e-learning, or allow voice input into mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

Wearable Technology

We can wear a lot of different types of wearable technology. Fitbits track your steps, smartwatches keep you in touch, and heart rate monitors monitor your health. However, wearable technology that can help us communicate more effectively is relatively new.

Dedicated communication wristbands and glasses are devices that can help us speak to one another more clearly. They can improve our speech and pronunciation, helping us communicate more clearly. They can also make us more aware of the emotional context of our words, giving us more control over the way we communicate.

Try wearing these devices when you need to express yourself more clearly. You might be surprised by how much clearer you can speak. You’ll also notice that your emotional cues become a lot more noticeable. It can help you communicate more clearly.

Voice Recognition Software

Voice recognition software converts spoken words, or audio recordings, into text. It can be used by people who have difficulty typing due to motor skills or cognitive issues. It can also help people with aphasia who cannot speak due to a brain injury.

Most voice recognition software uses artificial neural networks to recognize words. It works by mapping the waveform of the sound waves to text. It then looks for the same waveform in the text. Neural networks work by analyzing vast amounts of data and then making predictions based on the data.

There are many different ways to use voice recognition software.

Typing into a computer is nothing new, but there are some benefits to voice recognition software. For example, typing into a computer is generally slower than speaking, which may cause users to lose focus and get frustrated. On the other hand, voice recognition software is faster and allows users to multitask while using their computers.

Voice recognition software is also easier on the eyes. If a computer is being used in dimly lit places, it can be helpful to use a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen and stylus.

Synthetic Communication

Novel technologies can help us communicate in ways we’ve never been able to before. Synthetic communication, which is also often called voice recognition software, is a technique that converts speech into text and back again. It allows two people (or a virtual assistant) to record two separate messages and have the system convert one to the other automatically.

Voice recognition software can be helpful when we need to communicate with a person who is unable to read or write. It can also help individuals with limited mobility or a condition that affects their speech. Voice recognition can also help individuals with language-based dyslexia or autism.

Video Chat Service

Video chat services allow people to communicate with each other in real-time using video and audio. There are many benefits to video chats, such as seeing another person’s facial expressions and hearing what they say. It’s also easier to communicate with people in real-time than through emails or texts, which can take a lot of time. Some services allow you to exchange text as well.

Video chat can also help people with disabilities, such as people who have autism and who find it challenging to communicate with others in person.

Video chat has many uses, but one of the best is for business communication. It allows you to communicate with clients, vendors, and coworkers directly instead of waiting for regular business hours or responding to emails or texts.

Virtual Assistants

Virtual Assistants are software applications that help users complete tasks, such as scheduling meetings and completing tasks they can’t do because they are too busy. Virtual assistants may be able to help you with everything from scheduling meetings with colleagues to responding to emails and texts.

Virtual assistants can help with various tasks, including responding to emails and texts, which helps people with communication issues.

Emoji

Emoji are little pictures that express emotions and ideas. They have been around for more than a decade and have become a standard way to understand yourself. When you send an emoji, you’re not just conveying your feelings; you also give your recipient context. In this way, emojis can both help and hinder communication.

In an ideal world, emojis would be the default way to communicate. We only use words when we have to say something that doesn’t need many contexts.

Unfortunately, that’s not how it works in real life. We’re not always able to express ourselves incomplete, individualized ways. We also often don’t have a lot of time to communicate each other’s ideas.

Noise Cancelling Headset

Noise-canceling technology can drown out distracting ambient sound and help us focus on the words we’re saying. Noise-canceling headphones come in many different forms and can be used to cancel out the sound of other people’s voices, music, or even our voices.

We often have to focus on our own words when speaking in a professional or educational setting. That cannot be easy in a distracting environment. To improve the quality of your work, consider wearing noise-canceling headphones.

Noise-canceling headphones can also be helpful when we’re communicating with a person who is hard to hear. By blocking out the background noise, we can focus on the person’s words.

Siri

Siri is the personal assistant technology built into many Apple products, including the iPhone. It can help us communicate more clearly in a few ways. Siri can help us practice saying the things we want to say, and it can help us practice communicating those things.

Siri is contextual. It listens to our words, understands their tone and context, and brings relevant information. It also remembers what you say, so Siri will know what you’ve said before when you have to repeat yourself.

This contextual language can help us communicate more clearly. When we use Siri, we’re not just delivering words but also delivering emotions. Siri lets us give context to these words to communicate even more clearly.

Alexa

Amazon Alexa is a virtual assistant that lets you talk to a computer that answers you back. You can ask Alexa questions, get answers, and have Alexa do things for you. It can be helpful for certain types of communication.

It’s possible to use Alexa as a virtual assistant for communication. You can use Alexa to practice saying what you want to say and communicating those things. There are also a few communication skills that Alexa is accommodating for.

Google Duplex

Google Duplex is a technology that allows Google Assistant to schedule a call with a human. The call is then played through Google Assistant’s artificial intelligence voice.

Duplex is designed to be used in person. Users are told to set up a meeting with the person they’re calling and play the audio. The person that Google Duplex calls is unaware that they’re being played.

Google Duplex is designed to communicate clearly. Google Assistant is designed to understand context so that users can expect clear communication every time.

Internet Censorship

Who we communicate with is just one of the challenges we face when being more apparent in our speech. Another issue is the types of words we use.

Words commonly considered sensitive, offensive, or inaccurate can limit our communication ability. Using the wrong word can have a much different meaning than commonly used.

Facial Expression Recognition

Facial expression recognition software allows people to communicate more effectively through facial expressions, regardless of any language barriers they might face. Through the software, people can communicate without relying on words and express their emotions without being restricted to specific gestures.

The software is beneficial for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, as it allows them to hear and understand what others are saying using their voices. If a conversation becomes too personal, they can cover their faces with their palms to protect their privacy.

Synthetic Speech

Generating realistic-sounding voice commands is another breakthrough in improving language communication. People had to rely on written words to communicate in the past, which often resulted in ambiguity and misunderstanding. With synthetic speech, people can communicate clearly by talking to computers and smartphones, eliminating the need for written communication.

People can have face-to-face conversations with their loved ones via video calls or chats on social media platforms with synthetic speech. They can also have videoconferences with their employers.

Instant Messaging

Instant messaging has been around since the early ‘90s, when it was called “Texting.” Even today, it’s one of the most popular ways to communicate. It’s so popular that 77% of people have admitted they’d instead use it then call someone.

What is instant messaging? Simply put, it’s a way to send short messages, usually only a few words, to one or more people simultaneously. It is done by typing them out and sending them as text messages.

If you want to keep in touch with your family while on vacation but don’t want to waste money on expensive phone calls, you can use free web-based services like Google Hangouts, Skype, Facetime, or even Facebook Messenger.

AI-Enabled Communications

We’ve all heard about the potential of AI since the ‘90s, but it’s only in recent years that it’s become a reality. AI is a way of using computers to enable humans to accomplish tasks that are not currently possible, including making recommendations, doing data analysis, and making decisions.

The most common way AI is used in communications is through voice recognition software. It simplifies taking notes, writing emails, and conducting business calls.

Some companies use AI for automated call systems that automatically route calls to the right person based on the caller’s context. For example, the caller’s name and what they want to discuss may be enough to route them to the right person.

Bots

If you’ve ever used a service like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, you’ve probably experienced a bot. Bots are specifically designed to make our lives easier, and we can expect them to be a part of our future of communication.

The most popular form of bots is for communication. They listen to your requests and send them text messages, emails, or calls to other people.

Some bots allow you to communicate with elaboration bots, which is almost like a virtual assistant. It allows you to have conversations with bots that seem almost alive, with emotions and personality.

This AI-enabled bot is commonly used for scheduling appointments, checking in with your kids about their day, and other common uses.

Encryption Networks

If you’ve ever been concerned about the safety of your online communications, encryption networks are the answer. These networks use algorithms to encrypt your data so that only the intended recipient can access it.

Businesses and organizations often use them to protect sensitive data, such as customer data. However, these networks can be used by individuals as well. It allows us to have safe, secure communication without the hindrance of privacy violations. It will be priceless for future generations and their communication.

Signal is a popular encryption network available for both Android and Apple devices. It’s easy to use, and the encryption is solid and reliable.

Conclusion

We’ve all heard how the future of communication will be different, but how will it change? We won’t have phone booths anymore, and we’ll have to use smart glasses and even implants to have real-time conversations. All of these things are scary, but they’re also exciting.

Bots, encryption networks, and AI-enabled communications will change how we communicate. There will be less need for phone calls as we’ll all be able to message one another. We’ll also be able to connect to the internet anywhere and anytime.

As advances in artificial intelligence, voice recognition software, and computer vision continue to transform the way we communicate with one another, it’s important to remember that these technologies have the potential to change the way people communicate with one another dramatically. If we are to make the most of these technologies, however, it’s also essential that we are mindful of the types of communication barriers that people may face and take steps to address them.
