ABSTRACT
The LIBERATED LEARNING PROJECT (LLP) is an applied research project studying two core questions:1) Can speech recognition (SR) technology successfully digitize lectures to display spoken words as text in university classrooms?2) Can speech recognition technology be used successfully as an alternative to traditional classroom notetaking for persons with disabilities?This paper addresses these intriguing questions and explores the underlying complex relationship between speech recognition technology, university educational environments, and disability issues.

Speech-Input Speech-Output Communication for Dysarthric Speakers Using HMM-Based Speech Recognition and Adaptive Synthesis System
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that causes inability to control and coordinate one or more articulators. This makes it difficult for a dysarthric speaker to utter certain speech sound units, thereby producing poorly articulated, slurred, and ...
Flipped University Classrooms: Using Technology to Enable Sound Pedagogy
The three case studies in this paper show how flipped classroom approaches can facilitate the renewal of university teaching. The case studies form part of a scholarship of teaching and learning that provides opportunities for educators to learn from ...
Automatic Speech Recognition Used for Intelligibility Assessment of Text-to-Speech Systems
Verbal and Nonverbal Features of Human-Human and Human-Machine InteractionSpeech intelligibility is the most important parameter in evaluation of speech quality. In the contribution, a new objective intelligibility assessment of general speech processing algorithms is proposed. It is based on automatic recognition methods ...
