New dataset could aid development of behavioral biometric, synthetic voices

A research group has built a dataset of the physical movements which create the sounds of speech and could one day be used to develop speech recognition systems that synthesize voices for people with speech impairments. It could also lead to a new method of silent speech recognition, and even a new behavioral biometric, according to a paper published in the journal Scientific Data. The database was built using a combination of lip reading and analyzing facial movements.
