The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for speech recognition. A user will provide a speech input to a computing device, which will be recognized and processed. The user can also provide authorization to the computing device to sense and process the speech input via one or more sensor(s) that are utilized to detect the position, movement, etc. of the user’s lips, and in some aspects tongue. If explicitly authorized by the user, the computing device can receive the speech input via the one or more sensors that are utilized to detect the position, movement, etc. of the user’s lips, and in some aspects tongue. The one or more sensors can, for example, be contactless (proximity detection) sensors and/or touch sensors. The speech input can (but need not) be audible speech of the user that is also received by a microphone of the computing device. Further areas of applicability of the present disclosure will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure
