Vacancy ? job opening: Junior ASR - Speech
researcher[http://hstrik.ruhosting.nl/asr-junior-dart/]
on the project DART: Dutch ASR-based Reading Tutor
[http://hstrik.ruhosting.nl/DART/]

Literacy is a prerequisite to participate in our knowledge society and
reading skills are essential for school success. However, developing
reading skills requires intensive practice. To facilitate this process
we will develop educational software that incorporates Automatic Speech
Recognition (ASR) to provide instantaneous, automated feedback on
reading aloud. The research will first address how the ASR-based reading
software can best be designed and implemented in the school practice and
at home. Educational software with optimized ASR technology and
different forms of feedback will then be developed and tested in
realistic conditions. This research will provide important theoretical
and practical insights on the possibilities and effectiveness of
ASR-based reading software.
