Building Your Own Lip Reading Machine Learning Model

👄Building a lip reading machine learning model improves accessibility and allows machine learning to be used for good.

🎥Using OpenCV and TensorFlow, you can capture frames of a person speaking and process them for lip reading.

💻Pre-trained speech-to-text models can be used to transcribe the speech in the videos and create the training data for the lip reading model.

📹The GRID dataset provides a good starting point for building a lip reading model.

🤖By training a lip reading model, you can decode what a person is saying based on their lip movements.

Why do we need to build a lip reading machine learning model?

—Building a lip reading model improves accessibility and allows machine learning to be used for good. It can help individuals with hearing impairments or in noisy environments where audio can be difficult to understand.

What technologies are used to build the lip reading model?

—We use OpenCV to capture frames of a person speaking, TensorFlow to build the deep learning model, and pre-trained speech-to-text models to transcribe the speech in the videos.

How can I obtain the data to train the lip reading model?

—The GRID dataset, which contains videos of people speaking, can be used to train the lip reading model. You can download the relevant sections of the dataset from a provided Google Drive link.

Can I use a pre-trained model for lip reading?

—Yes, the tutorial provides pre-trained model checkpoints that you can use to get started. However, if you want to train your own model, you can use the provided data and follow the tutorial instructions.

How does the lip reading model work?

—The lip reading model captures frames of a person speaking, processes them, and using the transcribed speech data, learns to associate lip movements with spoken words. It can then decode what a person is saying based on their lip movements.
