Claim 17:
18. A system for determining textual transcription from minute facial skin movements, the system comprising:
at least one coherent light source;
a sensor configured to receive light reflections from the at least one coherent light source;
a wearable housing configured for engagement with an ear of the user and for holding the sensor in proximity to the face of the user, wherein the wearable housing is configured such that the sensor is held at least 5 mm from the face of the user;
at least one processor configured to:
control the at least one coherent light source to illuminate a region of a face of a user;
receive from the sensor, reflection signals indicative of coherent light reflected from the face in a time interval;
analyze the reflection signals to determine minute facial skin movements in the time interval;
based on the determined minute facial skin movements in the time interval, determine a sequence of words associated with the minute facial skin movements; and
output a textual transcription corresponding with the determined sequence of words.
