In May 2021, a Stanford University team reported a successful proof-of-concept test that enabled a quadraplegic participant to produce English sentences at about 86 characters per minute and 18 words per minute. The participant imagined moving his hand to write letters, and the system performed handwriting recognition on electrical signals detected in the motor cortex, utilizing [[Hidden Markov models]] and [[recurrent neural networks]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Willett FR, Avansino DT, Hochberg LR, Henderson JM, Shenoy KV | title = High-performance brain-to-text communication via handwriting | journal = Nature | volume = 593 | issue = 7858 | pages = 249–254 | date = May 2021 | pmid = 33981047 | pmc = 8163299 | doi = 10.1038/s41586-021-03506-2 | bibcode = 2021Natur.593..249W }}</ref><ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Willett FR |title=Brain-Computer Interface Research: A State-of-the-Art Summary 10|chapter=A High-Performance Handwriting BCI|date=2021 |pages=105–109| veditors = Guger C, Allison BZ, Gunduz A |series=SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering|place=Cham|publisher=Springer International Publishing|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-79287-9_11|isbn=978-3-030-79287-9 |s2cid=239736609}}</ref>

Since researchers from [[University of California, San Francisco|UCSF]] initiated a brain-computer interface (BCI) study, numerous reports have been made. In 2021, they reported that a paralyzed and with [[Dysarthria|anarthria]] man was able to communicate fifteen words per minute using an implanted device that examined nerve cells controlling the muscles of the vocal tract.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Moses |first1=David A. |last2=Metzger |first2=Sean L. |last3=Liu |first3=Jessie R. |last4=Anumanchipalli |first4=Gopala K. |last5=Makin |first5=Joseph G. |last6=Sun |first6=Pengfei F. |last7=Chartier |first7=Josh |last8=Dougherty |first8=Maximilian E. |last9=Liu |first9=Patricia M. |last10=Abrams |first10=Gary M. |last11=Tu-Chan |first11=Adelyn |last12=Ganguly |first12=Karunesh |last13=Chang |first13=Edward F. |date=2021-07-14 |title=Neuroprosthesis for Decoding Speech in a Paralyzed Person with Anarthria |journal=New England Journal of Medicine |volume=385 |issue=3 |pages=217–227 |doi=10.1056/NEJMoa2027540 |issn=0028-4793 |pmc=8972947 |pmid=34260835}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Maiseli |first1=Baraka |last2=Abdalla |first2=Abdi T. |last3=Massawe |first3=Libe V. |last4=Mbise |first4=Mercy |last5=Mkocha |first5=Khadija |last6=Nassor |first6=Nassor Ally |last7=Ismail |first7=Moses |last8=Michael |first8=James |last9=Kimambo |first9=Samwel |date=2023-08-04 |title=Brain–computer interface: trend, challenges, and threats |journal=Brain Informatics |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=20 |doi=10.1186/s40708-023-00199-3 |doi-access=free |issn=2198-4026 |pmc=10403483 |pmid=37540385}}</ref> In addition in 2022 it was announced that their implant could also be used to spell out words and entire sentences without speaking aloud.
