Project LISTEN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Project LISTEN (Literacy Innovation that Speech Technology ENables) at Carnegie Mellon University, is a National Science Foundation and Heinz Endowment-funded project to create a reading tutor that listens. The project is headed by David 'Jack' Mostow, Ph.D. It has used the cepstral N-gram stochastic and language-level models of CMU Sphinx to evaluate oral reading and speaking proficiency and provide literacy tutelage.
In 2005, the LISTEN reading tutor was pilot-tested in Ghana, launching Project Kané.
