Testing My Speech Jammer In Public

What have we definitely learned, here? That no matter the circumstances, human beings are always capable of yelling "Fuck"

Please stop aiming it at the President....

I knew a guy (he was a customer that sometimes visit a business I ran) who would repeat everything you said as you were speaking - in real time, with a slight delay. He would guess / mumble what word you were saying next and then correct himself as he figured out the word. It was extremely hard to speak with this guy close by - most people would just stop talking. I have demonstrated what he did to many friends and work colleagues, and while I am nowhere near as good as the mirror speak as this guy was, they have all been stopped in their tracks and unable to speak further.

istg an invisible version of this exists 1 foot away from me 24/7

I feel like I'd fail the challenge without the jammer

Benn has started his supervillain arc. They finally pushed him too far.

I tried a delayed auditory feedback in around 1962 in an expo at the University of Texas. It's impossible to overcome for more than a few seconds. It virtually scrambles the-the-the brain.

They use this technology at the Vegas Sphere theater. Specifically for different languages so you can be hearing it in English and the person next to you can be listening in another language and neither of you can hear the other’s audio. Absolutely amazing tech.

As an ex actor who has had to recite lines from memory while having a fever, a twisted ankle, clogged ears, etc; I would love to know if that experience and ability would combat your sonic pressure. Also, pointing it at a singer while singing would also be intriguing.

I've heard a story that an engineer started delaying monitors when a stage crashed tried to steal the mic to bring up their own agenda. The delay was so disorienting the intruder got off the mic

A cartoon villain would 100% create something like this, I can already see a platypus with a brown hat trying to track you down. Take care around platypuses man.

Sonic speech jamming weapons were used by the police against the occupy wall Street speakers. It was wildly successful in disrupting the protests

This would make such a cool interactive museum piece, imagine a microphone at a podium with the sound laser directly overhead

The trick with the speech jammer, is to be sure and firm with your choice of words and to not let yourself be concerned with how you sound. Most get tongue tied because they can hear themselves and try to adjust their speaking voice while focusing on the jammer voice.

I remember hearing about japanese intervention force using something like this to disarm public speakers/peace disrupters without violence. Nice video!

I cannot even concentrate when my bluetooth headphones are half a second out of sync with your lips, so reading to your speech jammer surely would be impossible. fantastic stuff, great channel, enjoying so much here, cheers!

Are you really the guy who invented this?? Thank you for helping me ace every college speech I ever gave. Seriously I crushed all of them - I was the best speaker in any class I took and it wasn't close. I saw your "speech jammer" when I was in college. I don't have the skills or ability to make one - but I looked into it. Someone somewhere (I think the creator was japanese) wrote a program that you can download to your computer that works on the same principle. You speak into your computer microphone and your voice comes out of your headphones on a delay you control. I used this program whenever I had to give a speech in school. I still use this technique for business presentations today. All you do is plan what you want to present, practice, and when you think you're ready - turn on the speech jammer and run it again. As your video showed - it's possible to get through it, but you have to be EXTREMELY confident. It's elevated my speaking skills a ton! Thanks again - Subscribed!

You can train yourself to tune out the background voice. Source: I worked at an ATT call center for years and OFTEN people would call while on speaker phone and their volume loud. This produced the delay effect and it 100% trips people up for a couple weeks. After that your brain learns to phase it out.

"knob con" in London is NSFW

This was an eye-opening and entertaining use of electronics. I envy your knowledge and imagination. Thank you so much for this video!
