Readtheirlips is an AI software by Symphonic Labs that analyzes lip movements in videos to recognize and transcribe spoken content, even without audio.
What is Readtheirlips?
Readtheirlips is an AI software developed by Symphonic Labs that identifies and transcribes spoken content by analyzing lip movements in videos. It works in scenarios where there is no audio or the audio is unclear. The software detects faces, extracts geometric features of the lips, and analyzes dynamic changes in lip movements to match features with training data and recognize spoken content. However, the accuracy may be affected if the person in the video is not facing the camera directly or speaks too quickly. The development team is working on improving these limitations and plans to enhance the time constraints for video processing.
Main Features of Readtheirlips
