Articulatory speech recognition

Articulatory speech recognition is like having a magic toy that can understand what you say without seeing your lips moving or hearing your voice. It's like having a best friend who can tell what you're saying even if they can't see or hear you.

You know how your mouth can make different shapes and noises to make different words? That's called articulation. When you talk, your brain sends messages to your mouth muscles to move in certain ways to make the sounds you want.

Articulatory speech recognition technology uses sensors to track the movements of your mouth muscles and figure out what words you are saying based on those movements. It's kind of like watching a puppet show and figuring out what the puppets are saying by watching how their mouths move.

This technology can be really helpful for people who have difficulty speaking, like those who have had a stroke or have a speech impairment. It can also be used in things like voice-controlled devices, where instead of telling a computer what to do with your voice you can just make the movements with your mouth.

So, to sum it up, articulatory speech recognition is a way for technology to understand what you're saying by tracking the movements of your mouth muscles. It's like magic... or having a best friend who can read your mind!
