Presentation of Sound Analysis Tool at NVLF Annual Conference 2023

2023-12-23

The Klank Analyse Tool (KAT) was presented at the NVLF Year Congress 2023, where Kees van den Broek and Yvonne van Vilsteren from the Royal Auris Group explained its functionality. The KAT allows speech therapists and linguists to easily conduct phonological analyses based on a child's expressions, providing insight into their sound development for treatment goals. It has been well-received by the speech therapy community for streamlining the analysis process. Developed in collaboration with the Royal Auris Group, the KAT is now available as a comprehensive tool for all speech therapists in the Netherlands. Future plans include optimization and expansion in collaboration with users and ITSLanguage, integrating with other systems like BergOp, and adding features such as vowel sound analysis and e-learning modules, available on the KAT website.
