The article also mentions that the product has opened pre-orders, and that the team previously raised $1.3 million in funding from YC and Afore Capital.

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.
