Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, devices, and methods for a face mask for facilitating conversations are disclosed. A face mask includes a microphone located on an inside of the face mask, a processor located on the inside of the face mask and connected to the microphone, and a memory located on the inside of the face mask that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to capture, using the microphone, audio spoken by a user wearing the face mask, determine a mode that the face mask is in for transmitting the captured audio to a destination, and transmit the captured audio to the destination based on the determined mode.
