Talk to your computer without talking
We are building a silent speech wearable that lets you communicate with your computer at the speed of voice, but silently. The device picks up your intent to speak through subvocal signals - so you can issue commands or dictate text without making a sound. It's totally imperceptible to others around you. Think of it as voice control, minus any actual noise.
We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here.
San Francisco is home for us and the obvious place for consumer hardware, talent, and early adopters. It also keeps us close to YC and investors.
