Field notes
The described setup uses eight surface electrodes to capture speaking-muscle activity, then sends recognized text to whichever app is open on a laptop or phone. The maker says the demo clips use a live model trained on their own face and that a microphone check confirms the clips are silent. The page lists six supported phrases; testing other faces is still the next experiment, and the device remains pads and wires rather than a wearable.
