Unmute Speech.
Design Research Project.
Brainstorming various challenges and solutions for the same based on personal experience and discussions with deaf people.
A project where I identify a specific problem, study & implement inclusive design,
(technology + design) to solve for the same.
I include a combination of both Communication and Interaction design elements to ease/solve a particular challenge.
A short video showing the intent of my project idea.
Lesson Sample 1: Phoneme 'J' spelt as Ya
Lesson Sample 2: "Ch" word
USER TESTING:
User testing: Zunaira (profound hearing loss) using lessons to practise speech.
Therapy round on sentences.
Flexibility: Non-deaf user testing. This user has Cerebral Palsy induced speech impairment.
STAGE 2
STAGE B: Next stage of project.
-Interactive speech evaluation mechanism will be implemented in the next stage of the project.
Includes UI-UX interface, lessons workflow, user monitoring and other possible explorations.
Shall implement using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) cloud API's for speech database, evaluation and testing.
Project is in current progress.
