Tactile Communication of Speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 development of improved tactual and haptic displays for a broad class of applications (including virtual-environment and teleoperator systems in addition to sensory aids).

Tactile Modulation of Emotional Speech Samples
Traditionally only speech communicates emotions via mobile phone. However, in daily communication the sense of touch mediates emotional information during conversation. The present aim was to study if tactile stimulation affects emotional ratings of speech when measured with scales of pleasantness, arousal, approachability, and dominance.

Specific comparative performance data are given for cochlear electrical implants versus tactile aids.
متن کاملEffects of a Wearable, Tactile Aid on Language Comprehension of Prelingual Profoundly Deaf
Factors influencing the use of nonacoustic aids (such as visual displays and tactile devices) with the hearing impaired are reviewed. The benefits of tactile devices in improving speech reading/lipreading and speech are pointed out. Tactile aids which provide information on rhythm, rate, intensity, and duration of speech increase lipreading and therefore facilitate gains in language comprehensi...
متن کاملA Demonstration of the Shake2Talk Multimodal Messaging System
Shake2Talk is a new system for mobile messaging, using gestural input and non-speech audio and tactile output. Users can compose audio-tactile messages through simple gesture interactions and then send them to other users, enabling a range of different types of communication. This paper presents an overview of the Shake2Talk demonstration.
