Teen scientist’s device may grant speech to the voiceless
At age nine, Arsh Shah Dilbagi asked his parents for a puppy; they gave him a Lego kit instead. Undeterred, Arsh used it to construct a dog. Now 17, the tech prodigy is still building his dreams from scratch. His latest project is a smartphone-sized device called “Talk” that converts breath into speech, a boon for the developmentally disabled. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports.
