Talking Dog Vest

A research team at the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed this talking dog vest that gives dogs ability to talk. The technology uses a sensor activation system that produces speech when touched by the dog, according to CNN report.

“The dogs can say anything we give [them] the ability to say,” said Associate Professor Melody Moore Jackson. Jackson works with training dogs in this new technology, including her Border Collie named “Skye” can say anything.

How Talking Dog Vest Works

Skye and the other dogs in the program wear a vest with the activation technology that allows them to tell you the difference between toys. One touch produces the phrase, “that is the frisbee” and another, “that is the ball.” Touching one versus the other gives Skye the ability to describe what he sees.

Talking Dog Vest could brighten the future of the service dogs. Ms. Jackson has trained her dogs for medical alerts. In cases of medical emergency, the dog can approach people for help and say, “my owner needs assistance.”

“Any dog that’s trainable would be able to do this kind of activation because they are based on things that dogs naturally do,” said Jackson.

It takes a normal dog a minimum of only 28 minutes to learn the new words/gestures and to learn to speak.
