Seems like it would be a useful feature in voice recognition to have a "whisper" mode to prevent strain.



I once had laryngitis for about a week, and during this time found out that for most people whispering puts more strain on the vocal cords than regular speaking: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/08/health/08really.html

But a whisper mode might prevent ear strain for those working around you :)


Hmm, I take it back then. Maybe a sub-vocalization mode then...


There are some high tech breakthrough in this space. You can have microphones that hear the faintest of internal voices and even non-invasive ways to hook on the nerves to get your internal monologue.
