“Can you imagine how cool it would be to just see the vibrations of sound waves? It will be even better than reading lips; nothing can be hidden, not even text tones.”


 It would be impossible. Waveforms show timbre, which is made up of harmonics, and amplitude. Those two don’t combine to make up any kind of shape that would correspond to words at all because waveforms also contain the sound of a person‘s voice in the timbre, how loud they spoke (in the amplitude), and a lot more.

It’s impossible. Waveforms show timbre (harmonics) and amplitude. That information does not translate to specific words.

I wonder if people are priming the diction algorithm by saying “racist” and “trump” a lot, then just saying racist and hesitating.

Great. Now when will Apple Watch get Notes? The most obvious app for Apple Watch, and it’s nowhere to be seen.

I wonder if Apple could include Spatial Audio recording on the iPhone at some point, (in other words, a built in ambisonic mic with an SoC co-processor and a preference on how to decode it, unless it's Spatial Audio only - or at least make the files compatible with Logic Pro ). The mic array will have to somehow use an algorithm that would create an Ambisonics array out of their mics, because physically it's impossible to record Atmos/Spatial Audio ready audio without an ambisonic capsule array. I would think a special renderer on the SoC could handle this but I'm not exactly sure if it's possible. 

If so, that's a feature that I'd buy a new iPhone for alone. Small market I know.
