Israel's largest mobile phone operator Cellcom and Israeli start-up SpeechView launched on Tuesday a worldwide patented software that will allow the deaf and hard of hearing to communicate through mobile phones.
The product LipCcell is a software installed in the user's computer and connected with a cable to a cell phone. When the deaf user gets a call, the software translates the voice on the other side of the line into a three dimensional animated face on the computer, whose lips move in real time synch with the voice allowing the receiver to lip read.
The software can be used initially only with a computer or laptop, said SpeechView chief executive Tzvika Nayman, though future developments will allow the software to be installed on personal digital assistants.
Under the agreement, Cellcom will be the sole distributor of the kits in Israel with its revenues deriving from the calls, Cellcom deputy chief executive Oren Most told Reuters.
The kits, including a CD and cable, will cost $125.
Some basic training, included in the instruction manual of the CD, is needed to better interpret the lip nuances of the animated figure, Neyman said, with the software also using color on the animated figure's nose or cheeks to differentiate between sounds that are confusingly similar.
"The additional signs added to the animated figure raise the level of identification from 35 to 85 percent," he said.
Nayman said he knows of no such technology in the world, and added that SpeechView was in touch with mobile phone operators in Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands to further distribute the product.
"There is no language limitation," Nayman said, adding that all phonemic languages can be translated by the software.
The technology was created by Nachshon Margaliot, an information systems specialist, who stumbled upon the need for the product while working with a hard of hearing colleague.

That comment you made about the Palestinians reveals the true purpose of posting your article.
Maybe if you let Palestinians lead a normal life instead of locking them up in your Israeli concentration prisons, they too would be able to invent something.
You don't even let our children go to school. Shame on you.
While Cellcom, a rich israeli corporation, develops technology , the israeli government is building a wall to occupy more and more territory devastating the lives of thousands of palestinian civilians.
While Cellcom, a rich israeli corporation, develops technology, palestinian children die from malnutrition, disease, poverty, because their neighbour country keep them poor, through the military occupation.

Suicide bombers pack their bombs with nails and other objects so even survivors of suicide bombings will suffer from the bomb's effects.
"They're trying to maximize the number of people they kill and injure,"
These bombs are packed with spikes, nails, screws, nuts, bullets, mortar, ball bearings and even rat poison.
"What were originally created for constructive purposes have been transformed by Arab terrorists into cruel, deadly, destructive projectiles," "The nails fly like bullets, head first, penetrating skin, flesh and bone. The unprecedented wave of suicide bombings has presented a whole new set of medical challenges."
In January 1996, Israel's internal security service, or Shabak, used an exploding cell phone to assassinate Yahya Ayyash a leading Palestinian opponent of Zionism.
It's no coincidence that the head of the Shabak when that operation was being planned was Ya'akov Peri, who was subsequently appointed CEO of Israeli cell phone company Cellcom referred to in the above article.
Yes we should name a street after him in Dublin,he's such a noble man,responsible for numerous suicide attacks in buses in Tel Aviv
and other cities.
How easy is it to get people who can't access water, can't get to school, can't work, can't feed themselves, to become human bombs???
Israel's military occupation of Palestine is the groups can recruit innocent civilians and turn them into human bombs.

Israel's military occupation of Palestine is the only reason why terrorist groups can recruit innocent civilians and turn them into human bombs.

The deafest people of all are the Israelis who continue to ignore numerous UN resolutions calling on them to pull back to the pre 1967 borders and end their occupation of the West Bank, not to mention their mass murder of Palestinians.
"he's such a noble man,responsible for numerous suicide attacks in buses in Tel Aviv and other cities."
By getting him, they probably saved the lives of innocent Israeli civilians. He got what he deserved.
Israel would save many more lives if they withdrew the army from Palestine.
The israeli state is as terrorist as those who recruit innocent palestinians and use them as suicide bombers.
The inventors of the Microwave oven were US company Raytheon, who now have a plant in Derry where they are developing targetting sofware, the story goes that an employee standing close to a piece of equipment that emitted micro-waves noticed that a bar of chocolate in his pocket had melted. Raytheon also make radar equipment, air traffic control gear, sonar equipment....for fishing you understand, oh, and cruise, tomahawk, sidewinder, hellfire missiles, cluster bombs, land mines etc etc, where they derive 87% of their revenue.
The French Company Alcatel Alsthom own publish books , make fibre optic networks, water purification plants, hydroelectric power sations, TGV trains, microwave switching systems (for mobile phones, and also satellite surveillance systems, missiles, missile guidance systems, nuclear powerstations and nuclear warheads.
Its called the military industrial complex
Cellcom, part of the isreali military industrial complex, make lip reading cellphones for deaf people as well as exploding ones for palestinians.
Read our lips: Stop treating the palestinians like untermeschen and join together with them in the creation of a truly secular republic, for all of our sakes
Got it from Esat Dodgyphone. I dropped it down the toilet and next time I used it it went bang. Exploded, Brown trout everywhere. Those dirty Mossad bastards I thought.
You know Israeli CDs have an extra groove.You need a special twin laser player but you can hear secret messages telling you where lay lines are. They are where pre-historic people stopped for a shag.
Anybody know why it's raining so much. It's that Mossad again. Softening us up.
