The present disclosure pertains to a system for voice capture via nasal vibration sensing. A system worn by a user may be able to sense vibrations through the nose of the user when the user speaks, generate an electronic signal based on the sensed vibration and generate voice data based on the electronic signal. In this manner, the system may capture a user's voice while also screening out external noise (e.g., based on the sound dampening properties of the human skull). An example system may include a wearable frame (e.g., eyeglass frame) on which is mounted at least one sensor and a device. The at least one sensor may sense vibration in the nose of a user and may generate the electronic signal based on the vibration. The device may receive the electronic signal from the at least one sensor and may generate voice data based on the electronic signal.
