SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE, DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER, AND EMOTION ASSESSMENT, AND CONTEXTUAL FEEDBACK

摘要

In some embodiments, a method that includes capturing sound in a natural language environment using at least one sound capture device that is located in the natural language environment. The method also can include analyzing a sound signal from the sound captured by the at least one sound capture device to determine at least one characteristic of the sound signal. The method additionally can include reporting metrics that quantify the at least one characteristic of the sound signal. The metrics of the at least one characteristic can include a quantity of words spoken by one or more first persons in the natural language environment. Other embodiments are provided.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a sound capture component configured to capture sounds produced by one or more first persons and a plurality of other sound sources in a natural language environment, wherein the plurality of other sound sources includes people other than the one or more first persons; a sound processor coupled to the sound capture component and configured to analyze a sound signal from the sound captured component and identify characteristics from the sound signal; and a reporting component configured to be in data communication with the sound processor and configured to report metrics that quantify the characteristics of the sound signal, wherein:
the metrics of the characteristics comprise a quantity of words spoken by the one or more first persons in the natural language environment.
