DESCRIPTION: Work is proposed to develop interactive software for learning Cued Speech, a method for communicating with deaf persons that supplements lipreading with a system of manual cues. These cues, which are made in conjunction with the normal production of speech, are designed to disambiguate visually-confusable lip shapes. The eventual product, a CD-ROM for use on personal computers, will provide the user with instruction in both the production and reception of Cued Speech using high-quality video recordings of experienced cuers. The course will incorporate a practice mode, which provides ad lib viewing of cued utterances, and a test mode, which scores responses and provides feedback to the user on reception of Cued Speech. In addition to self-training, the CD-ROM can be used by clinicians and teachers for one-on-one or group lessons. Work in Phase I will lead to sample interactive lessons that will be evaluated with test training. The outline of the complete course will also be drafted in Phase I. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Total potential US market is several million (family and associates of deaf persons); annual sales of a few hundred units are expected due to limited use of Cued Speech.

描述：工作建议开发交互式软件学习提示 言语，一种与聋人交流的方法， 用手动提示系统来读唇。这些线索， 与正常的语音生产相结合，旨在消除歧义 易混淆的唇形最终的产品是一个光盘， 个人电脑，将为用户提供指令，在这两个 使用高质量的视频记录制作和接收提示语音， 经验丰富的厨师。该课程将包括一个实践模式，提供 即兴观看暗示的话语，和一个测试模式，得分的反应， 在接收提示语音时向用户提供反馈。除了 自我培训，光盘可用于临床医生和教师进行一对一 或小组课程。第一阶段的工作将产生互动课程样本， 将通过测试培训进行评估。完整课程的大纲将 也将在第一阶段起草。 拟定商业应用： 潜在的美国市场总量为数百万（聋人的家庭和伙伴）; 由于Cued Speech的使用有限，预计年销售量为几百台。
