[net.micro.pc] Visi-Speech?

rt@cpsc53.UUCP (Ron Thompson) (07/22/86)

I am posting this article for a fellow
worker that has a child with a hearing impairment.

He would very much like to find software for
an IBM compatible PC to aid his child in developing
her speech.

I have heard there is some such package for Apples.
A person with normal hearing says a word into the
mic and a graphical representation (based on frequency)
is displayed on the screen.  The hearing impaired
person then says the word and tries to match the
pattern.  When the pattern is matched, or nearly so,
then the person knows that they have spoken a word
that should be recognized by normal hearing people.

Please direct any and all suggestions to me via e-mail.

Thanks,
