A computer-based system of speech-training aids for the deaf: a progress report
Pages 125 - 126
Abstract
This paper is a progress report on an effort to develop a computer-based system of speech-training aids for the deaf. The project was begun with the assumption that an attempt to design such a system would probably fail, and that a more promising approach would be to attempt to evolve one through use. Accordingly, a system incorporating some of the capabilities that it was thought would be useful for speech training was developed, and installed at the Clarke School for the Deaf where it is now being used on an experimental basis in a remedial speech-training program. The expectation was that the capabilities of the system would be modified and extended as attempts to use it provided insights concerning what features it should have. To ensure that such insights do in fact guide the system's evolution, developers and users are engaged in a continuing dialogue concerning the desirability and feasibility of specific modifications and extensions, both in the training procedures that are used in conjunction with the system and in the characteristics of the system itself.
