Silent Speech Enables AI Communication Through Silently Mouthed Words
The Neuron
Apple is collecting data for Silent Speech, a system that recognizes words people mouth silently without sound using iPhone and Mac cameras and microphones. The research preview is open to participants aged 18 and older who can record themselves silently mouthing phrases through a browser or Mac app. This data collection phase will later be used to train custom AI models for silent speech recognition.
Why it matters
Silent Speech allows users to communicate with AI on iPhone and Mac through silently mouthed words after training a small personal model from recorded sentences.
