Reading Lips In Software
SEWilco writes "The Register points out that Intel has released code for reading lips from a video image, Audio Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR). They do point out that better results would probably be achieved by combining video and audio recognition processing. I don't know if they have any patents, we all know some prior "art" from 2001, er.. 1968. HAL's accomplishment was also mentioned by CNN during 2001 in an article about this group's work."
Men and women, boys and girls. All with really thick, dirty, obscuring mustaches.
What is this world coming to?
Oh wait, that was a different lip reading session...
If brevity is the soul of wit, then how does one explain Twitter?
Maybe now with a cluster at our finger tips and this sound visual lip analyser thing, we may be able to (finally) understand what all those foreign heavy accented professors are actually mumbling about...
And well, beats manual note taking if the computer can read the board and his mouth and his voice.
Body language should be even easier than lip reading. I want to know if I'm wasting my time or whether I should invite her back to my place.
Fry, Leela, and Bender are hiding out in the shower discussing how to turn of Planet Express Delivery Ship. The little red light is on, the screen is scrolling back and forth between the lips as Leela gives orders and Bender objects. Then the ship says, "Oh, if only I could read lips!"
Galium Arsenide is the material of the future, and always will be.
I may have done better in my AI class if I was able to read lisp. All those damned parenthesis made life very difficult.

No... more... taxes.
"So computers can now talk to themselves"
Yep, it is called networking.
ersonally-pay, i-ay(?) erfer-pay o-tay use pig latin.
geeze, that really wasn't worth the effort...
yes, since there are so many people concerned with reading the lips of birds, especially since they don't have lips, or talk. yeah, consider this my karma burn for the evening.
YOU SUCK BALLS!
Good plan... Oh wait, who would you talk to? Bad plan.
It probably wouldn't work for Greta "Lips" Van Susteren
This lobster was alive when it hit the frothy, boiling water.

I know what I want this for- I want to read the lips of all the coaches and players during basketball/baseball/whatever broadcasts. Maybe ESPN could offer this as a feature, censoring as needed. :-)
