A brain-to-text interface deciphers commands intended for the vocal tract
- eimrine 4y agoIs anybody knows, what about a speed of a brain-to-text interface of any possible kind? Is it going to overcome a speed of touchtyping at least in the foreseeable future? The article says about 18 wpm with having implant which is far from a decent reason of implanting.
- rkagerer 4y agoThe 18 wpm referenced a 2021 paper using a different approach where the user imagined writing with a pen on paper. No speed was stated by the article for the "imagine-speaking" technology that it's about, though presumably they have yet to match that 18 wpm record. But the author says: We’d like to enable paralyzed people to communicate at a rate of 100 words per minute. We have a lot of work to do to reach that goal, but we think our approach makes it a feasible target. 100 wpm would be slower than an average speaker but a bit faster than a quick typist.
