Heres my new word for the day.

elec·tro·myo·graph
an instrument that converts the electrical activity associated with functioning skeletal muscle into a visual record or into sound.

This technology can help people who have lost their voice due to an accident or illness. But an interesting application is its use as a translator. Because the electrical pulses are universal they can be transformed into the language of the user's choice. Much like the universal translators employed in Scifi stories.
