Scientists at the University of Sheffield aiming to improve speech recognition software needed volunteers willing to have small currents passed through their tongues and electrodes attached, non were forthcoming, so they developed Anton.
A robotic tongue with its very own salutation is slightly strange, perhaps that refers to the whole head,making it slightly more acceptable.
The silicone crafted mouth organ is assisting the scientists to better understand how the mouth produces sound and turn this into algorythms to recognise speech patterns then convert these to the written word.
Current software in the speech recognition arena relies on comparing loads of pre-recorded speech that has been input and match it to what is said.
There seems to be some chatter on the forums about this invention perhaps performing X-rated tasks, anyone even considering intimate congress with a skull should seek help.
