SpeakUp: Silent Speech Interface; Low Cost; Arduino; Machine Learning

Project Summary by Varun Chandrashekhar: "I have designed and developed a speech interfaced for the paralyzed, which they can use to communicate without speaking. This device detects speech-related electrical signals from the throat and converts them into letters or words that we recognize using machine learning models."

SpeakUp - ML Based Speech Aid to Enable Silent Communication

My comment about the project: easily replicable by anyone with computer science knowledge, different from what is being done with the silicon trojans in the 3G/4G/5G equipment only on it needing physical probes. Anyone doing research on this area be cautious of sabotage when using US designed CPUs (AMD/INTEL/QUALCOMM/APPLE/ARM), as the microcode, SMM and firmware of your system may be manipulated to mess up your computations. Ask your own Nation to stop trusting Silicon Valley and make your own silicon supply chain and tech services. Meanwhile, mitigate this situation by moving to an area away from any cell radio transmitter (check coverage on OpenCellID.org) and shielding yourself and your devices from electromagnetic eavesdropping and interference.
 
I'll just say I doubt said device is anywhere near as capable as Varun claims. Not sure about the skitzopost.
 
Can you use the said machine learning to appear less schizo?
That would be something, a machine that lets schizos speak normally, kinda like the universal translators from Star Trek.

schizo: THE CIA PUT SILICON TROJAN HEBREW LIZARD NANOBOTS INTO MY BREAKFAST CEREAL
machine translation: What a lovely afternoon weather we have today.

Somebody get on it.

Yeah, dude, that's kind of impossible nowadays. I live in the middle of nowhere, meaning it takes me an hour and a half to get to the nearest hick town, and I get cell phone reception. And pretty good one at that. You're not gonna escape it.

It was in fact way worse 50 years ago when radio was still the biggest thing and analog TV had it's day. Those signals were both way larger and way more powerful. They could go through practically anything.

I was wondering how the hell you even found this, but he literally did just copy+paste the entire back half of his ramble. We've almost got our own key lime pie sperger here.
I honestly just came across it without searching for it, and recognized the text. Maybe I just share interests with a schizophrenic person.

EDIT: Yes, I searched for the text, and it seems the only place apart from Schneir's blog, and a number of chan boards, that this comment has been posted is a blog that tracks a 'targetted individual' called Bryan Tew that we have a thread on. Well, I guess I'm schizo adjacent. At least I don't read chan boards.
