I have heard that this was a solved problem many times. Is it actually here now? Seems that once this is really solved, we will immediately see it in working products. The article is also cautious, the approach is interesting. Awaiting that.

In a feat that could eventually unlock the possibility of speech for people with severe medical conditions, scientists have successfully recreated the speech of healthy subjects by tapping directly into their brains. The technology is a long, long way from practical application but the science is real and the promise is there.
