Subvocal launches glasses for silent mouthing input that can transcribe 200+ words per minute
Subvocal has launched a pair of glasses that can convert silently mouthed words into text at a speed of over 200 words per minute. The principle is that radar passes from the frame through the face, and based on changes in the reflected signal as each word is silently mouthed, AI decodes it into text; at most, bystanders see only slight mouth movements. The product is now available for pre-order, and the team previously raised $1.3 million in funding from YC and Afore Capital.

I did not think this was possible yet. your face just became a keyboard.
Typing with no keyboard and no voice now exists, I’m still processing this launch.
Subvocal's glasses turn silently mouthed words into text at 200+ words per minute.
Voice dictation beats typing for speed, but it becomes unusable wherever talking aloud would disturb others or expose private text.
Now that problem is solved.
Underneath, radar travels from the frames through your face, each silently formed word changes how it reflects, and the AI decodes that into text at 200+ words per minute. The people around you see, at most, a little movement at your mouth.
