Lips Reading Using 3D Convolution and LSTM

This paper introduces an innovative approach to lipreading, leveraging a web application designed to generate subtitles for videos where the speaker's mouth is visible and a comprehensive literature review that precedes the discussion, encompassing a thorough examination of various lipreading methods employed over the past decade. Our method employs a powerful deep learning model, featuring a 3D-convolution network and bidirectional LSTM, enabling accurate sentence-level predictions based solely on visual lip movements. With an impressive accuracy of 97%, our model is trained using pre-segmented lips regions, transformed into animated GIFs for effective pre-training. This work stands as a significant contribution to the evolving landscape of lipreading research, offering a practical and accurate solution for real-world applications.
