Chen, Howard Hao-Jan – ReCALL, 2011
Oral communication ability has become increasingly important to many EFL students. Several commercial software programs based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies are available but their prices are not affordable for many students. This paper will demonstrate how the Microsoft Speech Application Software Development Kit (SASDK), a…

Cox, Troy L.; Davies, Randall S. – CALICO Journal, 2012
This study examined the use of automatic speech recognition (ASR) scored elicited oral response (EOR) tests to assess the speaking ability of English language learners. It also examined the relationship between ASR-scored EOR and other language proficiency measures and the ability of the ASR to rate speakers without bias to gender or native…

Comparison of the Multipeak and Spectral Peak Speech Coding Strategies of the Nucleus 22-Channel Cochlear Implant System.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Holden, Laura K.; And Others – American Journal of Audiology, 1995
Eight subjects participated in a comparison of the multipeak (MPEAK) and spectral peak (SPEAK) speech coding strategies of the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant system. Overall, speech recognition performance was significantly higher with the SPEAK strategy than with the MPEAK strategy on all speech tests. (Author)

Comparison of the Normal and Noise-Suppression Settings on the Spectra 22 Speech Processor of the Nucleus 22-Channel Cochlear Implant System.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Holden, Laura K.; And Others – American Journal of Audiology, 1995
Seven subjects participated in a comparison of the normal and noise suppression settings on the Spectra 22 speech processor of the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant system. Group data revealed no significant difference in performance between the two settings for either monosyllabic words in quiet or sentences presented in background babble.…
