Title
IGlasses: an automatic wearable speech supplementin face-to-face communication and classroom situations
Abstract
The need for language aids is pervasive in today's world. There are millions of individuals who have language and speech challenges, and these individuals require additional support for communication and language learning. We demonstrate technology to supplement common face-to-face language interaction to enhance intelligibility, understanding, and communication, particularly for those with hearing impairments. Our research is investigating how to automatically supplement talking faces with information that is ordinarily conveyed by auditory means. This research consists of two areas of inquiry: 1) developing a neural network to perform real-time analysis of selected acoustic features for visual display, and 2) determining how quickly participants can learn to use these selected cues and how much they benefit from them when combined with speechreading.
