Tactual Cued Speech as a Supplement to Speechreading
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cued Speech method devised by Cornett (1967) has proven to be a highly effective means of supplementing the information available through speechreading. For example, highly trained deaf receivers of Cued Speech are able to achieve nearly perfect reception of cued conversational sentences (e.g., Nicholls & Ling, 1982; Uchanski et al., 1992). The success of this method, combined with recent advances in speech recognition technology, motivates the development of an automatic cueing system.

Comparison between two methods of extracting supplemental information for speechreading
A pilot study was made to examine the efficiency of two auditory processing methods extraction of fundamental frequency and spectral gravity, both combined with intensity information as a supplenient to speechreading. Three normal hearing subjects showed improved ability to perceive sentences with supplemental signals presented auditorily. For two experienced subjects, the performance without t...
متن کاملAutomatic speech recognition to aid the hearing impaired: prospects for the automatic generation of cued speech.
Although great strides have been made in the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, the communication performance achievable with the output of current real-time speech recognition systems would be extremely poor relative to normal speech reception. An alternate application of ASR technology to aid the hearing impaired would derive cues from the acoustical speech signal that...
متن کاملPersian Cued Speech: The Effect on the Perception of Persian Language Phonemes and Monosyllabic Words with and without Sound in Hearing Impaired Children
Objectives: This paper studies the effect of Persian Cued Speech on the perception of Persian language phonemes and monosyllabic words with and without sound in hearing impaired children. Cued Speech is a sound based mode of communication for hearing impaired people that is comprised of a limited series of hand complements and the normal pattern of speech. And it is shown that it effectively ca...
متن کاملA speechreading aid based on phonetic ASR
Manual Cued Speech (MCS) is an effective method of communication by the deaf and hearing-impaired. We first describe our work on assessing the feasibility of automatic determination and presentation of cues without intervention by the speaker. The conclusions of this study are then applied to the design and implementation of a prototype automatic cueing system using HMM-based automatic speech r...
متن کاملCued Speech and Language Acquisition: With Specifics Related to Grammatical Gender
It is well known that lipreading or speechreading is a difficult and hazardous task for all deaf people, and all the more so for the small deaf child who has to acquire language from his parents' lips. Words with similar lip images, so-called "invisible" phonemes, and distortions induced by coarticulation are factors which make speechreading on its own unreliable, unfit to allow clear perceptio...
