Thank you for the warm words!

Model already generalizes on out-of-distribution people, so you actually don't need to train a model for each person

One cool fact: with silent speech, you can “speak” not only while exhaling, but also while inhaling

Voice is still a very underexplored modality. Right now, it’s used mostly for dictation, but it could also be used for editing.

The funny part is that the tongue itself could act as a cursor or perform gestures, which sets this approach apart from other silent-speech methods.

It won’t necessarily be adhesive. It could be attached mechanically - we’re still exploring the form factor.

The idea is that you won’t need cubicles anymore. Your hands will always be free because you won’t need a keyboard or mouse. You’ll be able to control the digital world using only your tongue.

The future is bright: you’ll talk to your Jarvis while driving through the Norwegian fjords.

Exactly - a universal input device.

It could help not only people with vocal cord problems, but also essentially anyone who is paralyzed from the neck down.

When I was collecting data, I spoke silently for more than two hours.

After the session, I tried to use Wispr Flow but forgot that I was still speaking silently, so it didn’t work.

When I finally said it out loud, it felt like such a hassle that I essentially sold myself on the idea of silent speech.

Tongue movement detection cannot track only six phonemes: - b - p - m - f - v - h

That’s a remarkably small number compared with other methods. English could easily be optimized to achieve a sub-5% WER with a very small model.

We developed an app that sets common knowledge about the event and highlight contradictions and divergences of opinion.

For example this is what we got about Sam Altman getting fired: Commonalities: OpenAI's board fired CEO Sam Altman Mira Murati becomes interim CEO at OpenAI Sam Altman responds to his firing on social media

Divergencies: Multiple senior OpenAI researchers resign in the wake of Altman's dismissal Investors and shareholders, including Microsoft, were caught off-guard by the firing of Altman Sam Altman was having discussions on starting a new venture prior to his removal from OpenAI

Contradictions: CNN reports Altman is mulling a return to OpenAI upon a revised decision by the board, while other sources mention Altman's potential new venture and decisions between the two options There is uncertainty about whether OpenAI's direction under Altman was geared more towards cautious development or aggressive progress and commercialization, with conflicting reports about the underlying issues leading to his dismissal

Project is open-sourced. Would love to know your opinions
