Researchers have developed an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence to lip-read sentences more accurately than human experts. The team from BBC used over 100,000 of subtitled Google television footage to train the system, which used BBC 's Deep Mind neural network. There are many practical uses for machine lip reading, such as transcription in noisy contexts, dubbing and/or transcribing silent films, resolving multi-speaker concurrent speech, and improving automated speech recognition. The footage showed a broad range of people in different poses, activities and lighting conditions, replicating conditions "in the wild," as the team described it. The digital model was able to decipher around half of the spoken works from the footage, significantly better than a professional lip-reader, who managed this century .
