A Visualization and Human–Computer Interaction Proposal in the Context of Pronunciation Information

摘要

The process of learning correct pronunciation can greatly benefit from the twin disciplines of information visualization (InfoVis) and human–computer interaction (HCI). HCI concerns with design, evaluation, and implementation for the ease of use of users, while InfoVis is responsible for representing multidimensional data in a specific information context. The two disciplines can, therefore, complement each other with the purpose of providing a visualization model in the information context of pronunciation. Such a model could provide an aid to pronunciation learning for different types of users. The proposed model integrates graphic aspects to be able to represent information in such a way that the user can visually capture a greater quantity of diverse voice characteristics and instantly recognize the pronunciation quality.
