| Abstract(in English) | We have modelled typical English pronunciation errors of Japanese learners and design the system which gives effective instruction utilizing speech recognition technology. To texts for pronunciation learning, the system produces learner's pronunciation error candidates based on error patterns and speech recognizer with HMM identifies and segments learner's speech. As HMM speech recognition does not have suffcient discriminant accuracy, the system makes a pair-wise discriminant analysis of the phone segments. This analysis makes it possible to give effective instructions based on articulatory information. We have tested segmentation accuracy and discriminant ability of each method. |
