The document discusses silent sound technology, which aims to transmit information without using vocal cords by noticing lip movements and transforming them into computer-generated sound. It was first conceptualized in a 2001 film and later developed by scientists in Germany in 2010. The technology uses sensors and electrodes to monitor muscle movements associated with speech and converts the signals into electrical pulses representing speech, allowing silent communication. It has potential applications for helping those who have lost their voice and enabling covert military communication.
