- In conversational speech, most phonemes occur in the medial position and are less identifiable that they are in isolation.

- Redundancy allows the speechreader to fill in the parts of the message that were missed.

What are three environment factors that affect speechreading?
- Distance: 5 feet between speaker and speeechreading is optimal.

What are the visual factors that affect speechreading? (6)
- The light should allow the speaker to be easily visible to speech reader.
- The distance should be sufficient to allow for the face, particularly the lips, to be clearly visibly.
- The obscurity of many speech sounds (homophoneous words ex. bill and pill) make speech reading difficult.
- The rapidity of the formation of speech sounds makes it difficult to read.
- Hidden sounds such as /j/ (as in you) or /h/ for which there is no movement are difficult to speech read.
- The speech reader should face the speaker in the beginning but should eventually practice speech reading from different angles.
