Claim 17:
18. A method for deciphering silent speech, the method comprising:
directing coherent light toward a portion of a cheek of a user;
receiving from at least one sensor, reflections of the coherent light from the portion of the cheek;
in an idle power mode, processing signals associated with the reflections to identify from reflection signals associated at least one movement in the portion of the cheek at least one trigger;
automatically switching to a high power mode upon identification of the at least one trigger, wherein in the high power mode a frame rate is higher than in the idle mode;
in the high power mode, analyzing the reflection signals from the portion of the cheek at the higher frame rate to identify facial movements associated with silent speech; and
deciphering the facial movements in the portion of the cheek to generate an output associated with the silent speech.
