A Speech Speed Awareness System for Non-Native Speakers
暂无分享,去创建一个
Conversation between native speakers and non-native speakers is not always easy. Non-native speakers sometimes feel hard to understand what native speakers talked because of their speech speed. Even kind native speakers who speak slower in such a situation in the beginning often get back to their “natural” speed unconsciously after a while. Moreover, non-native speakers are supposed to pardon for one more listening but it is hard to get the opportunity when their partners keep on talking. In this study, we introduce a speech speed awareness system to alleviate this communication problem. It recognizes the speech speed in real-time and make the participants aware when the speech speed is too fast.
