Subsonic Smart Glasses Let You Type Without Saying A Word Subsonic has raised $1.3 million from Y Combinator and Pre Capital to develop smart glasses that convert silent movements of lips and speech muscles into text. According to the company, the device allows you to enter text at a speed of more than 200 words per minute - without a microphone, camera or keyboard. The startup hopes to make the glasses an alternative to typing and voice typing. Their cost is $699.
