Evaluation of a Wireless Tongue Tracking System on the Identification of Phoneme Landmarks

Conclusion: The tracking errors reported in the subject-dependent case demonstrated the potential of our system to generate a baseline of phoneme landmarks. We have identified areas of improvement that will reduce the gap between the subject-dependent, and universal baseline, while lowering tracking errors to be comparable to the gold standard. Significance: Creating a baseline of phoneme landmarks can help people affected by speech sound disorders to improve their intelligibility using visual feedback that guides their tongue placement to the proper position.
