    Wonderful tech, and video example. I think there may also be a special forces application, but I don&#x27;t know enough about how well their current solution works.<p>In the office, a non-contact video solution (lip reading) is likely to be far more popular, but a lot depends on which is more accurate.

    &gt; The two biggest hardware challenges are reducing the size and weight of the ultrasound probe and replacing ultrasound gel with a more practical coupling material, such as hydrogel. We think both are solvable, making it possible for the probe to eventually become a lightweight wearable or adhesive patch.<p>Not sure I&#x27;d want to put an adhesive patch on my neck every morning so I can silently talk to an LLM in the cubicle farm. I hope this is not our future.<p>Very cool tech though and surprisingly good results for so little training.<p>I think time might be better spent improving a lip reading model (no adhesive required), assuming we&#x27;re unable to read brainwaves directly.

      Keeping a camera focused on the lips could get awkward. A hands free throat patch may be more ergonomic.

    I wonder if, like with lip reading, they switch from American English to a different language that&#x27;s not so peculiar they would have and much less error rate

      reminds me of the handwriting recognition language Graffiti from palm&#x2F;handspring days.<p>It ended up altering my handwriting even after I stopped using it.
