It is our persona beyond ourselves, with traces of us scattered from birth certificates, Social Security numbers, shopping patterns, credit card histories, photographs, mugshots and health records. In a digital world, where memory is converted to 0’s and 1’s, then instantly transformed into a reproduction even in 3D, personal data is an urgent personal and collective subject. Those who wish to live anonymous lives must take extraordinary measur ...

Without the tone, rate, inflection, even pauses, we lose too much value in transcription. This new podcast from inVibe Labs explores topics around the hidden insights within the acoustic signals of what we say, how we say it, and the deeper meanings and emotions; all critical clues about ...
