Speak Silently With An Ultrasound Probe

Speaking is much faster than typing, and while it’s an increasingly convenient way to interact with computers, it’s hardly private. Providing speech privacy in a way we haven’t seen before is this prototype tongue-reading system that uses machine learning and ultrasound to read tongue movements and turn them into decoded speech. Not only can a user speak without emitting a sound, since it doesn’t read sound waves it’s completely immune to noisy environments.
