I am throwing this idea out for any Japanese engineers to implement if they can, and I am calling it the "Picture Voice". Possibly, it already exists.
Basically, it is a digital camera/phone that takes pictures and with each "still" photo, captures a 3 second audio wave file.
So instead of simply a jpeg digital photo captured, possibly there could be a "WAV" file, or some other audio formatted capture file, associated with it. Now, I would only want the new product IF these jpegs are independently available, and backward compatible with jpeg players.
Obviously, if a person has the new capability to ALSO play the audio along with a digital display of the photo, then fine. I am not asking for a re-invention of the phone or digital camera, just another feature added.
And, second half of the idea is for something similar to a barcode printout, or alpha-numeric printout be provided, along with the digital photo, so that even if no player is available, let's say, fifty years from now, the alphanumeric string can be typed in, scanned in, bar coded into a player, and the voice file played back along with the photo.
The alphanumeric string of course would represent a single coded number of a decodable compression file. For example.... the string.... "azw19*6^/4geEFE%@" would represent a single numeric value of 125 to the 17th power, which could possibly be decoded into a WAV compressed file, for audio output. This string would be printed out below the actual photo display. should that photo be printed.
I need this type of product for my construction work... snap the photo with a 3 second blurb of what it is, or what needs to be done, or what to look for... and date, of course! So instead of a written notepad, I would just load the camera output into my PC player, for display and playback purposes.
Now I almost can guess... this product has already been invented by the Japanese? If so, please advise of what product it is.
Otherwise, someone, please invent this product for Americans to use!
Sorry... the alphanumeric equivalent may be 17 to the 125th power, not vice verse, but enough to decode a 3 second WAV.
