SHOUT MITIGATING COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention is a means to provide a user interface that will naturally cause a person to speak at a normal talking volume. It is based on a mechanism whereby the user's speech is compared to a threshold to determine if the user is speaking too loudly and provides feedback to the user. This mechanism could be incorporated into a headset, a cell phone, a smartphone, or into other communication devices. It is useful for operation with or without a headset.
