The Reis telephone was an early sound transmitting device, invented by Philipp Reis in 1857. Reis's first successful work is dated to October 1861. When properly set up, it would allow verbal communication via electronic signals. Many sources credit Reis as the inventor of the first telephone. Others point to the prior work of Antonio Meucci, or to later work of Elisha Gray or Alexander Graham Bell. However it is generally agreed that Reis coined the word telephon -- which has been Anglicised to telephone.
