Method for communicating using synthesized speech

1. A method for communicating using synthesized speech, comprising:

capturing subvocal speech signals from a first party;

applying subvocal speech recognition to the signals to generate speech text; and,

transmitting the generated speech text to a second party.

2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein applying subvocal speech recognition to the captured signals includes reading the signals, comparing the signals to a stored database of signal-word pairings and generating speech text.

3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, upon being captured, the subvocal speech signals are amplified.

4. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, upon being captured, the subvocal speech signals are processed to remove signal noise.

5. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the generated speech text is transmitted wirelessly.

6. A method for communicating using synthesized speech, comprising:

receiving speech text generated from subvocal speech signals, the speech text being transmitted from a first location;

synthesizing audible speech from the speech text; and,

outputting the synthesized audible speech at a second location.

7. A method as claimed in claim 6 wherein the transmitted speech text is wirelessly received at the second location.

8. A method as claimed in claim 6 wherein audible speech is synthesized from the transmitted speech text.

9. A method as claimed in claim 6 wherein the synthesized audible speech is output at the second location.

10. A system for communicating using synthesized speech, comprising:

a first computing device at a first location; and,

a second computing device at a second location;

wherein each computing device is configured with a plurality of sensors, a subvocal speech recognition program, a speech synthesizing program and an audio output device;

wherein the computing devices transmit and receive speech text in a bi-directional manner;

wherein the first and second computing devices communicate via wireless transmission.

11. A system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the sensors capture subvocal speech signals.

12. A system as claimed in claim 11, wherein each subvocal speech recognition program generates speech text from the captured subvocal speech signals.

13. A system as claimed in claim 10, wherein each speech synthesizing program generates audible speech from transmitted speech text.

14. A system as claimed in claim 10, wherein each audio output device outputs synthesized audible speech.
