About

Mission

• Speech Professionals (Therapists, Teachers, Clinicians..) are often overworked.
• Clients don’t get the one-to-one time they need.
• There is developing technology which promises to help.
• We aim to give speech professionals the opportunity to use and improve the technology.
• The professionals must be in control of the technology.
• The technology must adapt to the professional’s needs.
• The data collected while the technology is in use will provide a basis for further research and development.
• CloudCAST will provide a resource which is free to the community.
• This resource will be available ‘in the cloud’, with computation done remotely.

Examples

• Therapy aids based on speech recognition.
• Speech disorder diagnostics.
• Literacy Tutors.
• Personalised recognisers for people with speech disorders.
• Voice command and control for people who can’t use keyboards.
• Communication aids for people whose speech is hard to understand.
