Silent Speech Moved From the Face to the Hand
A soft fingertip electrode samples muscle signals near the lips only when the wearer chooses to speak silently.
Summary
A soft fingertip electrode samples muscle signals near the lips only when the wearer chooses to speak silently.
The interface combines liquid-metal connections, flexible transparent electrodes and elastomer encapsulation. A neural classifier averaged 97.2 percent across three subjects on a 30-word vocabulary, and the authors demonstrated real-time drone control. The small participant count and restricted vocabulary make this an early interface result, not a general speech-recognition claim.
