<p>The invention is a system for people with speech disorders causing the inability to engage in a fluent articulation of speech. With the increase in access to multimedia computers, speech training can be made available to patients with no continuous assistance required from speech therapists. Moreover, as computer hardware becomes more and more miniaturised, some speech training or correction algorithms can now be implemented into small wearable devices that patients can use in everyday life. The invention defines some of the new applications of computer technology to speech articulation correction and training, particularly useful in cases of stuttering. The system described in the invention can send data associated with the patient profile to a miniaturised speech therapy device working in real time, namely CDSTU - Compact Digital Speech Therapy Unit. This devie is implementing real-time algorithms for the auditory feedback loop modification which are controlled by the personal computer and offers also the possibility of recording, transmitting and playing back the speech material scheduled to the training. Also, a system for computer-based interactive speech therapy to people with speech disorders is claimed.</p> |
