Resumen de Listen in to help out
The system, called TalkDetter, was designed by computer scientists at KAIST in Daejeon, South Korea, working with speech-language pathologists at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. It helps parents by listening to and analyzing the ebb and flow of talk between them and their child. It then gives clinically relevant nudges to guide the interaction and improve the child's language skills. Parents wear a Bluetooth earpiece and microphone while the child just wears a microphone, all connected to a smartphone. Software on the phone examines the exchanges between the two, watching out for when the parent speaks too fast, doesn't give their child enough time to respond, or ignores speech from the child. If any of these things happen, it alerts the parent via the earpiece.
