Outline of Final Research Achievements |
People who have had aryngectomies have several options for the restoration of speech, but no currenty available device is satisfactory.This study was undertaken to explore the feasibility of using hands-free interface with small, right weight electro-larynx which does not need to hold by hands.The device was tested in a practical environment by electro-larynx users. Results of the subjective evaluation indicated that the proposed system was well accepted.
