This recording has been forgotten for over 100 years and is considered outdated until the new technology makes it possible to "revive". New technology allows reading sounds from small grooves in wax discs using light and 3D cameras.

"Determining the voice of Alexander Graham Bell, who connects the voices of people around the world, plays an important role in historical research , " said John Gray, manager of the American Museum of History. . "We can understand more about the 80's years - who said, what they said and how they said it."
