   A Japanese firm has developed what it claims is the world’s first technology to enable users to display their spoken words on a tablet or a smartphone by dragging their finger on the screen. 

   Mitsubishi Electric claims to have combined touch-technology and 41 recognition to develop an application that helps to “overcome hearing disabilities and linguistic barriers.” 

   To use this technology, which is supported on Android platforms, one needs to press down on the screen for a while before running a 42 along the surface while speaking. Then the spoken words appear on screen just behind the moving fingertip, tracing the same 43 , whether straight or a curve. When the screen is pressed twice, the system analyses the 44 text, and can read it aloud or even translate it in 10 different languages. 

   The company expects this 45 will help those with hearing disabilities as well as tourists. Those who travel to unfamiliar cultures can understand the locals via this application.
