Infant Language Acquisition Using Voice Recognition Software

摘要

A method and system for recording, cataloging, and analyzing infant speech in order to enhance speech development by producing lists of suggested future words. The invention utilizes voice recognition software to update a database table comprising words that the infant has spoken. Speech analysis software then compares the previously spoken words in the database table to a set of rules, which are used to analyze consonant/vowel patterns and thereby identify trends in word usage. After identifying trends in an infant's word usage, the speech analysis software may then generate reports comprising trends in an infant's word usage and also generate lists of suggested future words for the infant to learn. The computer system then outputs the reports to a display screen, electronic data file, network connection device, or printout.
