Start here with the SSI archive.
Read these three paper pages first. They are the shortest path into the database, and each one is an expert review rather than an abstract repost. For a plain-language map of silent speech interfaces before diving into reviews, see the silent speech hub.
Read first
SilentSpeller: Towards mobile, hands-free, silent speech text entry using electropalatography
SilentSpeller is a strong, rigorously tested SSI system that reframes silent speech as silent spelling, enabling large vocabulary, live text entry, and walking robustness with in-mouth electropalatography sensors.
SottoVoce: An Ultrasound Imaging-Based Silent Speech Interaction Using Deep Neural Networks
A solid proof of concept that reconstructs speech audio from ultrasound for controlling unmodified smart speakers, showcasing important system design insight despite prototype limitations in latency, hardware bulk, and speaker dependency.
NasoVoce: A Nose-Mounted Low-Audibility Speech Interface for Always-Available Speech Interaction
A strong deployment-focused speech interface leveraging a novel nose-pad dual-sensor configuration and multimodal fusion to enable robust low-audibility speech interaction with AI under noise, backed by extensive evaluation.
