I'm not surprised that this is possible. I think I tend to move my mouth more than normal when I think of words myself (enough for others to notice).

You may have given tkadm30 more paranoia fuel, though...

This is an old idea I recall reading about it in the fourties, If it is to used by interrogators as a substitute for torture there is a low tech solution simply blowing air into the subjects mouth but you cannot do anything today without incorporating a computer

Apparently St Augustine is the first person recorded as reading without moving his mouth.  His fellow monks were amazed.

I read several times faster than I can speak. I think most, or certainly many, people do. So one suspects this would confuse, or completely submerge the system. The reference to speed reading seems to support this.

The idea is old, but good. All the old is the foundation of a new.
