Realtime pronunciation assessment

Realtime pronunciation assessment

Valid pronunciation of the prompt is assessed in real-time. The user gets instant feedback while speaking. This feedback can be tailored to the personal language level of the user.

Currently supported user groups:

  • English adults (>18+)
  • Dutch children (age <12)
  • Dutch adults (>18+)

  • Assessment of sound AND FLUENCY
Pronunciation quality assessment

Pronunciation quality assessment

The quality of the pronunciation of the response is assessed in detail . The student gets a score expressed as a percentage, that represents the extent to which the pronunciation corresponds to the pronunciation of a native speaker. The student gets feedback on the quality of each separate phoneme. Both the score and feedback can be tailored to the personal language level of the student.

Currently supported user groups:

  • English adults (>18+)

Speech annotation tool

Speech annotation tool

Speech recordings can be played back and annotated. It’s a very handy tool for scoring speech from students or clients that need to be analysed for reading mistakes. Specific error labels can be assigned to parts of the audio. The results can be used for further investigation by a more senior annotator, or simply be archived for a longer time.

It’s useful as a standalone tool for individual linguists and speech therapists. It also serves as a hub for annotating massive amounts of speech recordings, for assignment to multiple annotators. Here, the goal is teaching the machine learning algorithms how to detect reading errors automatically. The tool is previously used to train our speech models for English and Dutch.

The tool can be tailored to suit the needs of our customers (different target languages, different error labels) to optimize trained models for your target audience.

Demo and pricing information available upon request. Usually part of a R&D arrangement.
  • Forced alignment maps speech to prompt
  • Batch processing assign audio batches to multiple annotators
  • High consistency through inter annotator agreement
  • Customisable labels extract features you care about

Loudly

Loudly is a serious game with speech technology to learn vocabulary and is specially developed for schools and their students. The students practice their vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation and do self-assessments.

Scientific research with an English learning app

Loudly is a didactical concept to learn vocabulary by using speech technology. Students will efficiently improve not only their vocabulary and their spelling but also their pronunciation. Unique is the option to assess their own pronunciation by comparing it with the pronunciation of a native speaker.

Scientific research proves that to make oneself understood, good pronunciation is more effective than good grammar. And that an adequate pronunciation has a positive impact on listening, writing and reading skills. Students who are in for some challenge can use the competition modus, where they can challenge themselves or fellow students and aim for the highest score.
