The mask design that can display spoken content is a highly innovative concept that could revolutionize how we communicate while wearing masks. The mask is equipped with a small microphone and a display screen positioned in front of the mouth area. As the wearer speaks, the microphone picks up the audio, and the display screen translates the spoken words into text that would be visible to the person the wearer is speaking to. The e-ink display is clear and easily readable. It also effectively extends the battery life, to ensure that it can be used for an entire day without needing to be recharged.



The possibilities for this type of mask are endless, from improving communication in noisy environments to helping people with hearing impairments understand speech more easily. It could also be beneficial for individuals who communicate in languages that are not their native tongue or for those who have difficulty speaking clearly due to a medical condition. Overall, a mask that can display spoken content has the potential to greatly enhance communication in a variety of settings, making it a valuable addition to the field of personal protective equipment.
