Preliminary results of speech-reception tests obtained with the synthetic Tadoma system.
In the Tadoma method of speech reception used by some deaf-blind individuals, speech is understood by placing a hand on the face of the talker and feeling certain mechanical actions of the face associated with speech production. The synthetic Tadoma system is a computer-driven artificial face that simulates these mechanical actions. This paper reports some preliminary data on the discrimination...
متن کاملAutomating speech reception threshold measurements using automatic speech recognition
The speech reception threshold (SRT) is the noise level at which the speech recognition rate of a test person is 50%. SRT measurement is relevant for patient screening, psychoacoustic research and algorithm development in hearing aids and cochlear implants. In this paper, we report on our efforts to automate SRT measurement using an automatic speech recognizer. During a test, sentences are pres...

متن کاملOMAR - A Haptic Display for Speech Perception by Deaf and Deaf-blind Individuals
A system for haptic (i.e. kinesthetic and cutaneous) stimulation of the hand is described. While our immediate application involves display of speech information, a number of other man-machine interface applications may be feasible, including force-feedback devices for computer interaction and human pattern extraction from multiple datastreams. Our work is motivated by the observation that devi...
متن کاملTactile Communication of Speech
The long-term goal of this research is to develop tactual aids for persons who are profoundly deaf or deaf-blind to serve as a substitute for hearing in the reception of speech and environmental sounds. This research can contribute to improved speech reception and production, language competence, and environmental-sound recognition in such individuals. This research is also relevant to the deve...
