该项目旨在为变性人开发语音培训应用程序。声音训练通常由言语治疗师进行，包括支持个人改变声音（例如修改音调、共鸣或言语模式）的个性化课程。人们追求声音训练的原因是多种多样的，但通常包括对声音与性别认同不一致的不适。由于健康差异，语言治疗师的培训可能无法获得;因此，正如我在研究中提出的那样，技术解决方案是必要的。该项目将解决现有的制约因素，与社区成员合作设计一种新的语音训练应用程序，使用参与式研究方法，并结合言语科学，女权主义和酷儿理论以及HCI领域。
This project aims to develop a voice training application for transgender people. Voice training is typically conducted by a speech therapist, and consists of personalized sessions that support individuals in changing their voices (such as modifying pitch, resonance, or speech patterns). The reasons why people may pursue voice training are varied, but often includes discomfort with voice being misaligned with gender identity. Training with a speech therapist may be inaccessible due to health disparities; thus, a technological solution, as I propose in my research, is necessary. This project will address existing constraints to design a novel voice training application in partnership with community members, using a participatory research methodology and combining the fields of speech science, feminist and queer theory, and HCI.
