Visually understand spoken words (3-4)

I believe the answer is:

lip-read

(Other definitions for lip-read that I've seen before include "Understand by watching mouth" , "'Hear' by looking" , "Dire pal can interpret mouth movements as words" , "Understand by watching (a person) speak" , "How to "hear" when deaf" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
