Speak2Me, an innovative product which addresses the need for an automatic, computer-based conversation practice tool.
Speak2Me simulates life-like conversations using an avatar that reacts to the learners’ input. Learners listen, record themselves and receive feedback. Speak2Me uses state-of-the-art Speech Recognition, Avatar and Flash technologies. It has cross-browser capability.
Traditional speech recognition programs only detect pronunciation problems at the word level, and return feedback only for a whole word. Learners don’t know what part of the word is being pronounced incorrectly.
The Studio is an automatic, computer-based language tool developed to improve English pronunciation. Learners listen to examples of native speaker pronunciation and then receive feedback on their own pronunciation as they practice their English-language skills.
The Studio’s state-of-the-art speech recognition can detect mispronunciation of single phonemes (sounds). This allows users to pinpoint the exact problem they have with any given sound. Instant color-coded feedback shows the learner which phonemes have been pronounced incorrectly.
