The Reis telephone, was an invention by Philipp Reis inspired by a French article in 1854 (by Bourseul) on how to create microphone-like devices. His first successful work was achieved in October 1861.
The first inventor of a telephone was Phillip Reis of Germany only musical not articulating. The first person to publicly exhibit a telephone for transmission of articulate speech was A. G. Bell. The first practical commercial telephone for transmission of articulate speech was invented by myself. Telephones used throughout the world are mine and Bell's. Mine is used for transmitting . Bell's is used for receiving. (Edison 2006, [LB020312 TAEM 83:170])''
However this was not true. Reis used his Telephone (the word also invented by Reis) to transmit his phrase "The horse does not eat cucumber salad". This phrase is German is hard to understand acoustically so Reis used it to prove if speech can be recognized on another side successfuly.
Reis was marginally successful. This instrument could transmit continuous musical tones but produced indistinct speech.
