This paper is about a method to improve our everyday telephone which takes a big part of our daily life by making better changes in telephone ability. This paper is about a method to improve our everyday telephone which takes a big part of our daily life by making better changes in telephone ability. There are times when the receivers get displeased by hearing callers usage of abusive language, dialect and impatient voices. Times like this soft-sound phone is necessary, if the receiver press the soft-sound key bottom which is attached to the phone, the receiver would be able to hear soft voice with in the range of the caller’s voice. Softsound phone analysis the caller’s voice through the phone and keep the meaning of the conversation and adjust the accent which indicates the caller’s personality so the caller’s voice sounds soft and generous as if the voice tone is not over the specific limit. Consequently, it is affective to change a blunt society to bright and calmed better telephonic mannered society.
