<br>
Literacy is a prerequisite to participate in our knowledge society
and reading skills are essential for school success. However,
developing reading skills requires intensive practice. To
facilitate this process we will develop educational software that
incorporates Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to provide
instantaneous, automated feedback on reading aloud. The research
will first address how the ASR-based reading software can best be
designed and implemented in the school practice and at home.
Educational software with optimized ASR technology and different
forms of feedback will then be developed and tested in realistic
conditions. This research will provide important theoretical and
practical insights on the possibilities and effectiveness of
ASR-based reading software.<br>
