SPEECH AND LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY FOR LANGUAGE DIS...

This book draws on the recent remarkable advances in speech and language processing: advances
that have moved speech technology beyond basic applications such as medical dictation and
telephone self-service to increasingly sophisticated and clinically significant applications
aimed at complex speech and language disorders. The book provides an introduction to the basic
elements of speech and natural language processing technology  and illustrates their clinical
potential by reviewing speech technology software currently in use for disorders such as autism
and aphasia. The discussion is informed by the authors' own experiences in developing and
investigating speech technology applications for these populations. Topics include detailed
examples of speech and language technologies in both remediative and assistive applications 
overviews of a number of current applications  and a checklist of criteria for selecting the
most appropriate applications for particular user needs.This book will be of benefit to four
audiences: application developers who are looking to apply these technologies  clinicians who
are looking for software that may be of value to their clients  students of speech-language
pathology and application development  and finally  people with speech and language disorders
and their friends and family members.
