Startup Subvocal announced a $1.3M raise from Y Combinator and Afore Capital for smart glasses that capture silent speech: non-contact sensors track the internal speech muscles and decode barely visible mouthing into text at over 200 words per minute — voice-level speed without making a sound or touching a keyboard. Pre-orders are live, and the poster casts doubt with a one-word comment: "Bubble?"
