- Subvocal raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital for smart glasses that use non-contact radar to track tiny movements of speech muscles and decode nearly invisible mouthing into text at 200+ words per minute.
- The glasses offer speech-speed input without speaking aloud or touching a keyboard, letting users interact with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor; pre-orders are live.
- The author suggests such silent interfaces could one day help people who can mouth words but cannot speak, including giving task instructions to humanoid robots.
