Speech and Language Impairments

IBM Personal System/2 Speech Viewer

IBM Personal System/s SpeechViewer
The IBM Personal System/2 Speech Viewer is a clinical tool that addresses a key element in speech therapy; the feedback process. Animated displays and audio playback refine and simplify the process by focusing on the speech signal and by making feedback information clear and meaningful. This clinical tool for the speech pathologist was based on 10 years of research at the IBM France Scientific Center. In the course of the product’s development, teachers and clinicians from 29 counties used prototypes.
