I am having trouble finding information on this man outside of the History Channel show ("The Private Voice of Hitler") and the telegraph article. His name may be spelled Hübner (with the umlaut) or Houbner perhaps. Someone could contact the history channel for the correct spelling of his name and where he did his research. Also, there are different spellings of lip reading software: "audio visual speech recognition," ALR, "automated lip reading," and "automatic lip reading." My inability to read German is hindering me from finding pages that may mention him. All I've found so far is a Frank Hubner involved in networking research. Nathan J.

Apparently the English-speaking news sites got their facts wrong in a way I would never have believed possible. Amazing. Here are the verifiable facts: Frank Hübner is deaf. He owns a company that offers sign language classes, at http://www.gebaerdenfabrik.de. He was involved in making the British documentary on the silent movies with Hitler. So far, so good. There is no credible evidence that this happened via lip-reading software. Rather, it seems to have been a simple case of a deaf person using his lip-reading skills to decipher the video. Here is a link to http://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/news/aktuell/2006/11/23/hitler-eva-braun-gespraech/hitler-eva-braun-gespraech.html in a German newspaper on the story that corroborates this version of the story. 201.82.130.1 16:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Christian
