Silence gives a voice to people who cannot use one. Point the phone at your face and mouth a sentence. The camera reads the shape of your mouth, turns it into text, and speaks it aloud in a natural voice.

It works by tracking your lips at 25 frames a second, cropping a 96×96 window around your mouth, and feeding that video to a visual speech recognition model. A language layer then repairs the output, because lip reading is ambiguous by nature; "p", "b" and "m" look identical on the mouth.
