项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose the development of Optic-speech, a system designed to use real-time animation of 3D models to visualize tongue movement during speech for use in guiding speech therapy for dysarthria. Approximately 3 million Americans suffer from dysarthria yearly, and the inability to speak can quickly lead to a reduced quality of life. Existing therapies can be intensive, laborious, and often ineffective. Optic-speech improves upon existing therapies by accurately tracking a patient's tongue position in real-time and providing visual feedback during speech formation to guide therapy. Preliminary tests suggest that it has the potential to dramatically improve therapeutic outcomes. In addition, the quantified data captured by Optic-speech could be shared between clinicians and researchers to guide the development of more effective speech therapies. We expect that Optic-speech will rapidly become the state-of-the-art in speech therapy for patients with severe dysarthria as well as a broad range of speech disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议开发Opic语音，该系统旨在使用3D模型的实时动画来可视化舌头运动，以在语音中用于指导构造质心语言疗法。每年大约有300万美国人患有纹章障碍，无法说话会迅速导致生活质量降低。现有的疗法可能是密集，费力的，而且通常无效。通过实时准确跟踪患者的舌头位置并在语音形成期间提供视觉反馈以指导治疗，可以改善现有疗法。初步测试表明，它有可能显着改善治疗结果。另外，量化临床医生和研究人员之间可以共享视觉措辞捕获的数据，以指导更有效的语音疗法的发展。我们预计，对于严重构音症患者以及广泛的言语障碍，Opic Spech将迅速成为语音疗法的最新疗法。
