Introduction

Freitas, João; Teixeira, António; Dias, Miguel Sales; Silva, Samuel

Pages: 1 –14

[The concept of silent speech, when applied to human–computer interaction (HCI), describes a system that allows for speech communication between humans and machines in the absence of an audible acoustic signal. This type of system can be used as an input HCI modality in high-background-noise...

SSI Modalities I: Behind the Scenes—From the Brain to the Muscles

Freitas, João; Teixeira, António; Dias, Miguel Sales; Silva, Samuel

Pages: 15 –30

[Silent speech approaches can profit not only from an understanding of the brain and motor stages associated with speech production, but also from a direct use of the information coming from these stages. Therefore, in this chapter, readers can find a short overview of recent work regarding the...

SSI Modalities II: Articulation and Its Consequences

Freitas, João; Teixeira, António; Dias, Miguel Sales; Silva, Samuel

Pages: 31 –50

[Brain and muscular activity originates the change in shape or position of articulators such as the tongue or lips and, as a consequence, the vocal tract assumes different configurations. Most of these changes, namely of articulators and tract, are internal and are not easy to measure but, in...

Combining Modalities: Multimodal SSI

Freitas, João; Teixeira, António; Dias, Miguel Sales; Silva, Samuel

Pages: 51 –71

[In previous chapters, we have seen how various silent speech interface (SSI) modalities gather information concerning the different stages of speech production, covering brain and muscular activity, articulation, acoustics, and visual speech features. In this chapter, the reader is introduced to...

Application Examples

Freitas, João; Teixeira, António; Dias, Miguel Sales; Silva, Samuel

Pages: 73 –91

[In the previous chapters, we covered the main concepts and technologies behind silent speech interfaces (SSIs). While that material provides the reader with the necessary knowledge to understand the different concepts and proposed solutions, the technical aspects behind designing and developing...

Conclusions

Freitas, João; Teixeira, António; Dias, Miguel Sales; Silva, Samuel

Pages: 93 –99

[In this book, we covered silent speech interfaces (SSIs), from the core principles and motivations that have fostered research on the topic, up to the enabling technologies that serve its development and the methods applied to analyze and process the data they provide. We have realized that...
