' Computer-based lip-reading technology would help video surveillance systems spot people planning a crime or terror attack by literally watching suspects’ lips for clues.

Police or security agents could then be dispatched to the scene to question the individual. '

But obviously there is a huge way to go before we can handle natural speech.”
