Cerebral Palsy Speech Recognition Study

Make Some Money($$) for Just Talking
Dyarthric Speech Recognition Study
Has any one ever paid you for just talking? Well here is your opportunity! We are looking for adults (18 years or older) with Cerebral Palsy who have mild to severe dysarthric speech for an automatic speech recognition study. The long term goal is to build a practical system for text entry into computer systems for people with dysarthric speech. In order to achieve this goal we need speech samples of dysarthric speech. We are particularly interested in people who live in Illinois, Western Indiana and Southern Wisconsin. The study will last between 1-2 hours and consist of reading words presented one at a time on a computer screen. Potential participants must be at least 18 years old, have good vision to be able to read from a computer screen and be able to read at or above the 3rd grade level. Participants will be compensated for their participation and travel mileage. If you have dysarthric speech and are potentially interested in participating in the study, please visit the following web site and fill out an interest form or contact Professor Mark Hasegawa-Johnson, Ph.D. the Principal Investigator of the project.
