Silent speech synthesis uses sEMG and lipreading with masking

Researchers have developed a new framework for silent speech synthesis that combines surface electromyography (sEMG) and lipreading data. This approach uses modality masking during training to improve robustness against sensor failure or signal degradation. The masked multimodal system significantly reduced word error rates compared to unimodal methods, particularly for vowels and certain consonant groups, demonstrating its effectiveness for assistive technology.

    Cross-Modal Masking for Robust Silent Speech Synthesis Using sEMG and Lipreading

    Speech restoration through silent speech interfaces (SSIs) has emerged as a promising assistive technology for individuals with impaired or absent laryngeal voice production. Among non-invasive SSI modalities, surface electromyography (sEMG) and video-based lipreading provide com…
