Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 16/02/2026During court cross-examination a forensic lipreader may be asked about margin of error in the assignment. All cases are undertaken without context (eg knowledge of the crime or reading any statements). This prevents bias creeping in. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 13/02/2026The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) published the CCTV Code of Practice. This is guidance on the correct use of CCTV systems. Compliance with this code is vital to ensure that any footage is admissible as evidence in court. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 11/02/2026For CCTV to be admissible in court, it must be obtained lawfully. For example, the CCTV systems (including signage) installed for legitimate reasons such as crime prevention or public safety. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 09/02/2026With good CCTV, the forensic lipreader can create a structured report compliant with legal standards, showing methodology, reasoning and limits. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 06/02/2026CCTV footage as evidence is subject to the Data Protection Act 2018. All footage must be processed lawfully to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 05/02/2026The rejection criteria for CCTV footage are segments with poor pixellation, blurring or obstruction. Forensic lipreaders who cannot sight any lip movement cannot create a transcript. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Without proper analysis, informal interpretation becomes highly unreliable. Quality forensic lipreading replaces assumptions with demonstrable evidence. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Forensic lipreading can be misunderstood. CCTV conditions such as low resolution, compression, poor angles can obscure these details. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 26/01/2026A court-admissible transcript highlights any disputes related to conflicting accounts which would otherwise go unnoticed. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Forensic lipreading can find vital information from muted or poor quality footage. For example, a conversation in a bar or an argument in the street. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 19/01/2026CCTV interpretation with forensic lipreading supports court-admissible testimony; transcripts can clarify intent, identity or motive in all cases. 000
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 15/01/2026A CCTV transcript can help legal firms win cases. CCTV footage without sound can be a vital witness to a crime scene. 010
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 07/10/2025A beautiful & modernised version of a French proverb to sum up the relationship with a deaf lipreader: “Les paroles s’envolent, les écris restent…” (“Spoken words fly away but lip movements remain to be read…”) #FrenchProverbs #Lipreading 010

Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 10/09/2025The words ‘seventeen’ and ‘seventy’ have similar lip patterns. Words with similar lip patterns are called #homophenes #LipreadingAwarenessWeek #Communication 021
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Deaf lipreaders can misunderstand shop assistants. In this picture a lady learns in her receipt that the handbag in the sale was actually £50.00 & not £15.00. Words such as ‘fifty’ & ‘fifteen’ have similar lip shapes. These are examples of #homophenes #LipreadingAwarenessWeek 021
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 09/09/2025French does have a few proverbs about lips, silence & speech that can be adapted beautifully for #LipreadingAwarenessWeek “Les yeux sont le miroir de l’âme” (the eyes are the mirror of the soul)…just as lipreading uses the power of sight to access words. 010
Tim Reedy @elitelipreader.bsky.social · 09/09/2025The French proverb, “lire les lèvres, c’est entendre avec les yeux…” translates as “…to read lips is to hear with the eyes…” I think this is a succinct representation of lipreader friendship. #LipreadingAwarenessWeek #Communication #Accessibility #Lipreading 131
