I remember an article by Japanese in Neuroreport about this a few years ago.
They were not looking at what you were asking, but with MEG they were
looking for the difference between text read silently and alound. As a
corollary you could find the delay... Can't find the paper right now.
You should be able to find what you are asking from
Reading speech from still and moving faces: the neural substrates of visible
speech. Calvert GA, Campbell R. J Cogn Neurosci. 2003 Jan 1;15(1):57-70.
