Here, we report a real-time spoken-digit recognition system that directly processes throat vibrations by integrating a π–gel-electret mechano-electric generator (MEG) sensor with a multi-channel ion-gel/graphene ion-gating reservoir (IGR). The MEG, a free-deformable electret-based vibration sensor, converts articulation-induced throat-surface vibrations into voltage signals, which are then transformed into pulse sequences and applied directly to the IGR gate without any spectral or handcrafted feature extraction. Channel-dependent Dirac-point shifts, nonlinear electric-double-layer dynamics, and distinct relaxation behaviors in the IGR expand the one-dimensional MEG output into high-dimensional reservoir states, which are decoded using a simple linear classifier. This hybrid MEG–IGR system achieves an impressive real-time spoken-digit recognition accuracy of 96.8%, demonstrating that ion-gating reservoirs can efficiently extract discriminative spatiotemporal features from raw biomechanical signals. By eliminating frequency-domain preprocessing and enabling compact, low-power front-end computation, the approach provides a viable pathway for on-device speech interfaces.
