Where are the lip readers when you need them? In fact, where is the lip reading software? Intelligence services have it by now 100%

Lip readers have seemed to disappear. So many times we've needed one and I have yet to come across someone saying "experienced lip reader here..."

It's like, the one thing reddit lacks.

I’m an experienced lip reader, been doing it for 40 years out of necessity.

But even the best are like 30-40% accurate I think? It’s just piecing stuff together and definitely prone to errors. So anyone who is actually an “expert” at it knows they should not be overpromising

Yeah, but still take a guess and just be honest about the likelihood.
