Is it like a rough inference of what’s being said based on mouth movements, or is it more precise somehow? Would it be a mistake to think you knew exactly what was said by reading lips (even if you were good at it)?

    Yeah it really sucked, slightly muffled by the mask and no lips to read.

      Same. My mind makes up random words to sounds all the time, so if I dont have context or lips to read, the sentences I hear people say are just wild.

      I repeat things back to people wearing masks so that I can be sure that I understand them. It annoys some of them, but whatever
