Abstract

In this paper we present our results in automatic evaluation of pronunciation quality of children with dyslalia (mispronunciation of specific phonemes). Our aim is to offer real-time, quality feedback so that to reduce the gap between human assisted and artificial speech therapy. We present both theoretical and practical related issues such as: acquisition of data, human scoring, Hidden Markov Models training and classification, and the performances of our system. The obtained results encourage us to continue the development of Logomon – the first computer based speech therapy system for Romanian language. Ill. 1, bibl. 17, tabl. 2 (in English; abstracts in English and Lithuanian).
