Abstract

|
|
In this paper, we implement an elementary system to correct accents and pronunciations in English words spoken by non-native English speakers. In case of the accen evaluation, energy and pitch information are used to find stressed syllables, and the we extract the segment information of input patterns using a dynamic time warping method to discriminate and evaluate accent position. For the pronunciation evaluaion, and perform the spectral distance measure for each phoneme between input patterns and reference patterns. Based on these spectral distances, we decide whether to recommend the pronunciation correction or not. Our results show that 98 percent of accent and 71 percent of pronunciation evaluation agree with the perceptul measure.
