Vacancy – job opening: Junior ASR - Speech 
researcher[http://hstrik.ruhosting.nl/asr-junior-dart/]
on the project DART: Dutch ASR-based Reading Tutor 
[http://hstrik.ruhosting.nl/DART/]

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.
