Title
A computer-animated tutor for spoken and written language learning
Abstract
Baldi, a computer-animated talking head is introduced. The quality of his visible speech has been repeatedly modified and evaluated to accurately simulate naturally talking humans. Baldi's visible speech can be appropriately aligned with either synthesized or natural auditory speech. Baldi has had great success in teaching vocabulary and grammar to children with language challenges and training speech distinctions to children with hearing loss and to adults learning a new language. We demonstrate these learning programs and also demonstrate several other potential application areas for Baldi®.
