Apparatus for interactive language training
First Claim
1. Apparatus for interactive language training comprising:
- a trigger generator for eliciting expected audio responses by a user;
an expected audio response reference library containing a multiplicity of reference expected responses, the multiplicity of reference expected responses including a first plurality of reference expected responses having acceptable pronunciation and for each of said first plurality of reference expected responses having acceptable pronunciation, a second plurality of reference expected responses each having different pronunciation errors;
an audio response scorer which indicates the relationship between the expected audio response provided by the user and the reference expected responses; and
a user feedback interface which indicates to the user the pronunciation errors in the expected audio responses provided by the user.
