VOX is a $200 skin-worn microphone for private dictation
The post introduces VOX, a microphone worn on the skin that is designed for private dictation. It is meant to capture low-volume speech, including whispers, and still work in noisy environments.
The device is battery-powered, costs $200, and includes remappable buttons for shortcuts. The poster also notes that modern array microphones are dramatically cheaper than the $10,000 prototype they saw at Microsoft in 2005.
