  "account": "Subvocal, a startup, has developed glasses that use radar technology to analyze the muscles in your mouth, allowing users to input text silently without speaking a word. The innovative device can interpret the movements of your mouth even when you're not vocalizing, converting those subvocalized movements into written text. Pre-orders for the wearable technology are now available, with shipments expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027. As mobile devices have become increasingly compact, engineers have struggled with finding effective ways for users to input text. From physical keyboards to touchscreen interfaces and gesture-based typing, various solutions have been explored. However, wearable devices present their own unique challenges, often forcing users to either rely on voice input or awkwardly gesture at virtual keyboards. Subvocal's glasses offer a hands-free, silent alternative that could be particularly useful for those who naturally speak to themselves while typing or silently mouthing words while reading.",
  "summary": "Forget glide typing — these glasses have maybe the best text-entry trick yet.",
