SILENT INTRAORAL SPEECH SENSING WITH AUDIO FEEDBACK
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250014581 titled 'SILENT INTRAORAL SPEECH SENSING WITH AUDIO FEEDBACK
Original Abstract Submitted
a processor-implemented method for speech sensing is disclosed. a tongue position sensor (tps) is embedded palatally in an oral cavity of a person. the tps detects tongue movement of the person. a barometric sensor and an inertial measurement unit (imu) sensor are both located in the oral cavity of the person and coupled to the tps. the tps, barometric sensor, and imu sensor together form an intraoral mouthpad that can detect tongue movements, jaw and/or head movements, and breathing of the person. input from the mouthpad can be analyzed on a processor coupled to the mouthpad. the processor and the mouthpad combine to form an intraoral speech sensing complex. the complex can sense human speech based on the processor output. the complex can sense normal, low-volume, or silent speech of the person. the complex can provide non-blocking audio feedback to the person through a bone conduction speaker.
