Even professional lip-readers can figure out only 20% to 60% of what a person is saying. Slight movements of a person's lips at the speed of natural speech are immensely difficult to reliably understand, especially from a distance or if the lips are obscured.

Lipreading is being able to recognise a person's lip shapes, how they use their teeth and tongue, as well as understanding their gestures and facial expressions when speaking. This helps to understand what's being said. Lipreading enables people with hearing loss to be more involved in conversation.

Lip-reading (sometimes called speechreading) is the ability to understand speech by carefully watching the lip patterns and movement of the tongue and face of the person speaking.

Lip reading is a communication technique in which a person who does not have full access to sound closely watches the mouth of a speaker to understand speech. It is a skill which requires practice and, sometimes, formal training.

The earliest record of deaf education was in 1504 when a Spanish Benedictine Monk named Ponce de León established a method for teaching the deaf. He used traced letters and lip movements to help them learn various words and pronunciations.

Lipreading helps people understand more speech by watching for and identifying mouth movements that are associated with speech. Being able to see speech helps people communicate better, especially in challenging listening environments like when there is background noise.

Lipreading is the art of being able to see speech sounds. It is often called speechreading because people use other clues, such as facial expressions, gestures and surroundings, to help them understand what is being said. Lipreading can help people who are hearing impaired to cope better with their hearing loss.
