چکیده
This survey examines the feedback in current Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) systems and focus on perceptual feedback. The advantages of perceptual feedback are presented, while on the other hand, the reasons why it has not been integrated into commercial CAPT systems are also discussed. This is followed by a suggestion of possible directions of future work.

Recent research has shown that choosing a well-matched native speaker to imitate can have a positive impact on pronunciation training. Here we propose a voice-transformation technique that can be used to generate the (arguably) ideal voice to imitate: the own voice of the le...

متن کاملFeedback in computer assisted pronunciation training: technology push or demand pull?
In this paper, we examine the type of feedback that currently available Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) systems provide, with a view to establishing whether this meets pedagogically sound requirements. We show that many commercial systems tend to prefer technological novelties that do not always comply with pedagogical criteria and that despite the limitations of today’s technol...
