sounds like dystopia
That's an immediate "FUCK NO". I mean, I'm sure it can be beneficial for speech-impaired people, but we all know it's gonna be used for mass surveillance. It's even worse than the Zuck perv' glasses. 100% Black Mirror episode.
For something as closed-loop as a keyboard? Shut up and take my money, I need portable keyboard that doesn't set my arm nerves on fire.
For anything touching the internet? Kill -9 it with fire. All the fire. Declare a butlerian jihad against this, Chile didn't go far enough.
Edit after reading more: oh shit, its all hype.
For sci-fi readers: subvocalization
Looks impressive but I'll need a bit more on the "how" front...
Edit: very sensitive ear mounted camera to detect micro movements (subvocalization: silent speech with AI).
Added the FAQ to the post.
Quote: We currently have a working prototype that, after training with user-specific example data, demonstrates over 90% accuracy on an application-specific vocabulary. The system is currently user-dependent and requires individual training. We are currently on working on iterations that would not require any personalization.
I think 90% accuracy makes it unusable, no?
Yes it does. Current text to speech is much more accurate and it is annoying.
interesting for sure, but the concerns are mostly not valid. it basically tracks movements in your mouth to synthesize speech - it doesn't actually read your thoughts
yea yah just like Humane Ai Pin.. I want to see it ship first. then let me know.
