Abstract
The present disclosure describes approaches to voice restoration using personal devices that detect surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals from articulatory muscles for the recognition of silent speech in a patient (such as a patient with total laryngectomy, on voice rest, etc.). A personal device may comprise a cutaneous sensor unit and a control module that wirelessly transmits signals to a computing device capable of, for example, applying a predictive model to signals to generate text or synthesize speech. Methods and systems for training and applying predictive models, and fabricating personal devices, are disclosed.
