RESEARCH

Examining existing speech recognition and text-to-speech systems
Researching applications of speech recognition to language teaching (e.g., CALICO, Subarashii, etc.)
Exploring possibilities of using OGI Toolkit for language teaching applications
Developing applications using OGI Toolkit for language
Learning purposes (e.g., Guess the Animal, Doctor Visit, Pronunciation, Directions)
Researching Hidden Markov Modeling and development of Neural Networks using the tools provided with the OGI toolkit
Developing a Neural Network for a pronunciation activity using tools provided online by TLATOA
Integrating speech toolkits with other NLP applications (e.g., WordNet)
Demonstrating applications to others (particularly our direction giving/taking activity at the BYU College Fair)
Exploring limits of grammars for our direction giving/taking activity.
