| Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed a system to support the diagnosis and the speech training for the dysarthric disorders based on visualization and quantification of the speech features. In visualization, the developed PC-based tool is capable of visual representation and its quantification of phoneme distortion using our speech visualization techniques. In addition, we have designed a prototype tool for vowel articulation training using a target sound of the synthetic vowel to simulate oneself utterance. In diagnostic function, we will start the experiment in the clinical evaluation at oral surgery field, and also the developed vowel training tools have been used in some deaf schools.
