Considerable training was required before subjects were able to make use of this information so as to gain higher scores for lipreading with tactile Supplement than for lipreading alone .

Vibrotactile stimulation: case study with a profoundly deaf child.

This case study reports results obtained from a young, profoundly deaf child, M, who was fitted with a single-channel vibrotactile device, the Tactaid I, at 29 months of age. Her progress in speech and language development was evaluated over a 14-month period. During this period, M learned to understand 101 words through lipreading and the Tactaid I, and to produce consistent approximations of ...

A System for Automatic Lip Reading

In this paper, we present our approach of face and lip detection, lip modeling, and tracking. A new lip model based on Bézier Curves is used to capture the dynamics of the lips efficiently. The model is defined only through few points which are modeled using the Active Shape Model (ASM). Accurate detection of lip details is implemented using multiple independent feature templates. The method de...
