Need for Voice Based Speech Apps
Speech disorder form the chunk of developmental difficulties in children and grow into more serious problems in adults affecting the society at large. Early intervention and expert Speech Doctor treatment offered at the appropriate time can cure the majority of speech issues. However if left untreated, these difficulties can grow and manifest in the form of language disorders, articulation problems, stammering and other serious problems in kids and adults.
Current global numbers indicate that more than 70 million people in world have stuttering ( a speech disorder) and millions of children and adults have other speech, language and mental health disorders .These problems impact the communication performance of an individual, thereby impacting their daily activities and social life.
The last Census in India (2011), showed that 1.24% of the total children (0-6 years) in India are disabled. Out of which, 7 % children have Speech difficulties, 10 % have Cognitive difficulties. These numbers reflect the astounding figure that almost 1 in every 10 -12 school going children can have a speech or cognitive difficulty.
Speech Doctor is an Alexa based voice app being developed by 1SpecialPlace.
Speech Doctor will assist parents and adults alike in identification of speech related disorders. Through the app, a person can get a fair idea of whether he or the child under his/her care needs special speech and language treatment. The app does this by engaging the user in a conversation about their own or their kid’s speech difficulties.
For users suffering from articulation disorders and stammering/stuttering difficulties, Speech Doctor provides conversational games and practice sessions to assist them in overcoming their difficulties.
Speech is a natural language interface and we believe that the future will be devoid of touch interfaces or buttons and all human-machine interaction will take place through voice. So it is only natural that we utilize this form of human-machine interaction to enhance speech and language development in children and adults.
However currently most apps in this area are mobile based and don’t utilize the benefits of a conversational conversation offered by devices like Alexa which is crucial for speech and language enhancement.
Your child will work with our therapist during Speech Therapy Online. Some children’s speech improves with age, while others continues into adulthood. In this case, the youngster will require ongoing speech therapy for the rest of his or her life. Our personalized Online speech therapy works for people of all ages and ailments, and it’s also convenient and fun. In fact, our customers tell us that they don’t feel like they’re doing “therapy work” throughout their sessions. With the development of Speech Doctor we hope to bring about this revolution.
