| Popis: | This paper introduces a European Portuguese speech database containing spoken material recorded from children. The need for such database arose from the need of train phone models for the development of a computer aided speech therapy system. Articulatory disorders affect a significant number of children in pre-school age. We propose a system intended to assist and reinforce the conventional speech therapy programs. Through the systematic use of games, it learns the phones where the child has more difficulty to pronounce. The child is then taken to train the production of those phones by playing games. Another interest of a children speech database is that accurate children's phone recognition is only possible using training data that reflects the population of users. It is a difficult task due to the high pitch of children's speech. |
