0:00:04representing on the speech therapy i bad at that we work and in the fall
0:00:09of two thousand eleven it really is targeted towards children between the three to five
0:00:14one with a cleft lip or pilot which is basically a notch in the upper
0:00:18lip or in the room for them out and
0:00:22one of that side effects of having that is that pronouncing sounds is a great
0:00:26difficulty for them and possible procedures are surgical procedures a prosthetic and speech therapy which
0:00:33is where we come in a rap out is designed after i'd how to train
0:00:37speech therapist would deal with this in which
0:00:41in which i word is prompted in the child is required to repeat that word
0:00:45and the speech their pyjamas where that's right around and this process continues to iteration
0:00:50for different words and phonemes until the correct pronunciations found these were the existing to
0:00:54have to be looked when we were making is a wrap a does something that
0:00:58is more than these
0:00:59because it provides unsupervised feedback and so the child can do it without the strings
0:01:04for our purpose there and that's a good supplement existing work correctly looking like sars
0:01:09they say incorrectly the mlp they will be judged to evaluate harshly there's
0:01:13it is no nothing on the screen that's like is that the strong it'll just
0:01:16keep going we didn't wanna have a negative feedback is really wants to discourage get
0:01:20some try at the end it'll give i get like a little like celebration the
0:01:24results were like avatar that'll dance around for the speech therapist for the
0:01:27for the parent they can also review statistics on how well the channel is doing
0:01:31and how well charleston for specific words even so they can look at worse a
0:01:35specific sounds in it don't know where the target sound or in the word because
0:01:39that's actually also very important for
0:01:42although you a nice be certain things depending on where the sound is maybe more
0:01:45or less people said that only ready us about that longer pronouncing size more accurate
0:01:51estimate
0:01:52and so we bailed five different models for comparison of that was all the pronunciations
0:01:58and we always what we recorded sound we transform it into wave like this with
0:02:02this time
0:02:04so some the signal we can compare it to some baseline a and doubt we
0:02:08have recorded data correct pronunciations about sixty words that are normally most problematic and doubt
0:02:15that not in the at we are able to from but it for that work
0:02:19that judge whether it was set correctly or not
0:02:23so at the end of a day it's you know this may be able to
0:02:26sit down and applying either applying all a computer science as skills that we've had
0:02:31not taking all the classes that were taken in gettysburg and trying to change the
0:02:35world
