Speech practising apparatus

Abstract

Abstract The field of application of the speech practising apparatus encompasses the therapy of voice, speech and speaking disturbances and foreign-language training. The speech practising apparatus is computer controlled and exhibits a speech recognition unit (2), a microphone (3) and a screen (4), in which arrangement the speech signals are compared by the computer (1) and the speech recognition unit (2) in a comparator unit with the reference speech patterns and are weighted in the ratio of the correctly spoken words to the wrongly spoken words in such a manner that the speech signals of the student, recognised by the speech recognition unit (2), appear, depending upon the result of the weighting, in a clear or more or less distorted written form on the screen (4) which also indicates the degree of weighting. <IMAGE>
