Keep those lips sealed! Tech companies can now read them

"Start navigation, please," said the driver in the car with noisy passengers. Within seconds, a speech recognition system identified the command and activated the navigation system simply by reading the driver's lips. In another instance, a patient in a hospital with breathing tubes placed below their vocal cords, finds it difficult to speak. The helper uses SRAVI – a mobile app that uses Liopa's lip-reading technology – to scan the patient's face while they silently mouth a sentence. The Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted system then displays three probable statements of what the patient may be trying to say.
