AI that lip-reads 'better than humans' - BBC News

Scientists at Oxford University have developed a machine that can lip-read better than humans. The artificial intelligence system - LipNet - watches video of a person speaking and matches the text to the movement of their mouths with 93% accuracy, the researchers said. Automating the process could help millions, they suggested. But experts said the system needed to be tested in real-life situations. Lip-reading is a notoriously tricky business with professionals only able to decipher what someone is saying up to 60% of the time.
