I wonder if, like with lip reading, they switch from American English to a different language that's not so peculiar they would have and much less error rate

reminds me of the handwriting recognition language Graffiti from palm/handspring days.
It ended up altering my handwriting even after I stopped using it.
I suppose Spanish or German would be easier to recognize than English, due to the more distinct sounds, but Chinese would be much harder, due to the tones.
Tongue movement detection cannot track only six phonemes:
- b
- p
- m
- f
- v
- h
That’s a remarkably small number compared with other methods. English could easily be optimized to achieve a sub-5% WER with a very small model.
