I use VOX for long-form brain dumps while I walk or drive, and to dictate quietly at the office.
It hears me through my body, so it picks up less background noise.
I tap it to start/stop a note, and use a keyboard shortcut on my laptop to dictate.

His reaction the first time he whispered into VOX
If you’re in SF and want to try it, DM me. We’re in Dogpatch

Now I can walk around and I can jot my thoughts down no matter where I am. I can whisper or I can speak normally.

Trouble hearing people in noisy places?
We're testing a new wearable mic. The person you want to hear wears it, and their voice goes to your hearing aids or earbuds, so you hear them more clearly.
20-min test in Dogpatch, SF. DM me, or tag someone who could use this.

One of our first VOX prototypes was basically 4 stethoscopes strapped to my head.
Today it's one under your shirt, but we're exploring other form factors too!

Thin cables run from each head down past his shoulder. A workshop with a bicycle is blurred in the background.

In this demo you can see:
- Low-volume speech
- Noise robustness
- Remappable buttons
- Device switching
- Seamless agentic control
- My evil scientist laugh!

He created a device that lets paralyzed individuals control phones, tablets, and computers with only their tongue.
Created by MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega, the device sits on the roof of the mouth and works like a wireless trackpad.

Mapped my head to Rocket League camera movement. 👅🎮
