My turn to "huh?" I'm probably reading this wrong, but if the person speaking doesn't CS while speaking, then how is the speech-reader supposed to be aided (which so far I'm not)? Maybe my problem with CS is the samples I saw of speech-reading were not done correctly.

ok.. I am not good at making myself clear sometimes. What I am trying to say is that I think once a person becomes proficient at CS they understand mouth movements and the phonetics associated with them thus allowing for ease of lipreading. I hope that makes sense
