Can this tech be used for making powerless keyboards? As in no power just a mic.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, kind of makes you wonder how the audio isn't same quality in both since same hardware is used.
Potential variance of codecs, bitrates, and sampling rates, for starters.
93 vs 91.7 looks like a difference caused by statiscical error, let's say 93.0±1.0 vs 91.7±1.0. Are the error intevals published somewhere?

#13Obviously this has bigger implications than passwords, but the password discussion in the article made me realize I’ve never typed most of my passwords. I didn’t consider that as a benefit of password managers, but I’ll take it.

The processing required to process the signal, combined with the decreased precision wouldn't make it very practical, in my opinion.

#15Good luck with me, I use 34 keys in a Colemak layout with 8 levels of layers, essentially rendering it all useless, many strokes are rolled into the next, and chorded combos will sound like one ambiguous click.

You were safe until you shared that with us, now they can just include your keyboard setup as an input embedding if they target you.

This is a cool idea. Maybe you could make a keyboard specifically designed for this which made distinctive tones for each key like a xylophone. That would be a fun project.

#19> over Zoom, the accuracy of recorded keystrokes only dropped to 93 percent, while Skype calls were still 91.7 percent accurate. That's interesting considering the fact that Skype messenger is a well-known of its good (if not best) audio codec.
voice codecs get good performance by ignoring whatever noise isn't needed to reconstruct the voice.

now i'm imagining a keyboard where each key just smacks a piezo crystal
