Mimille: Une méthode interactive micro-informatisée de labio-lecture

Abstract

A computer-aided speechreading assessment and training system is presented. It is intended to be one component of a comprehensive aural rehabilitation program for preretirement adults with acquired mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Each lesson focuses on a different viseme which is practiced using the 'discourse tracking' method. The system allows the evaluation of the basic skills necessary for lipreading, i.e. good visual speech decoding and effective use of lingustic redundancy and transmitter feedback, by evaluating separately tracking rate, strategy, and types of errors.

Key Words:

• Lipreading
• Speechreading
• Computer-aided training
