Silent Speech Recognition

Posted on September 20, 2006

SilentSpeechTalk to the hand:

Speech recognition is accomplished by electrodes on the face that detect electromyography in the underlying muscles. Currently, the five vowel sounds in Japanese language (a, i, u, e, o) can already be recognized by this technique, and consonants are in the works.

I found this from Richard Sprague at Microsoft who points out that NASA has been working in this area for at least a few years, and had a system developed that recognised whole words way back in 2004.
