The project is based on the CRCS experiment
of imparting English pronunciation and accent training using speech
recognition software -DragonDictate.
Dragon Naturally Speaking is used to evaluate the closeness of a person's
accent with a target (desired) accent.
The result of this experiment was the basis of the accent training
application "Speak Right" developed at CRCS. Using SpeakRight
users could listen and practice words, sentences and paragraphs using
speech recognition software - Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Speak Right included a set of pre-recorded audio files; music and
video to improve spoken language skills. Users could also invoke Cambridge
Advanced Learner's Dictionary to listen and practice English language
words.
Speak Right in its new and enhanced version - Ispeak is being
evaluated by NIIT SmartServe to assist and improve call centre voice
and accent standards. These enhancements define the scope of the present
project
