Abstract

A method for generating speech includes uploading a reference set of features that were extracted from sensed movements of one or more target regions of skin on faces of one or more reference human subjects in response to words articulated by the subjects and without contacting the one or more target regions. A test set of features is extracted a from the sensed movements of at least one of the target regions of skin on a face of a test subject in response to words articulated silently by the test subject and without contacting the one or more target regions. The extracted test set of features is compared to the reference set of features, and, based on the comparison, a speech output is generated, that includes the articulated words of the test subject.
