Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for tracking articulatory and prosodic development in children are disclosed. Human speech in a given language can be divided into phonemes, which are a sound or group of sounds perceived by speakers of the language to have a common linguistic function (e.g., consonant sounds, vowel sounds). In an exemplary aspect, a normative model can be generated for production characteristics of each phoneme in a given language using a database of normative speech samples. One or more speech samples of a human subject can be analyzed to identify the phonemes used by the human subject and measured against the normative model. Based on this analysis, a normed score is generated of the articulation accuracy, duration, rhythm, volume, and/or other production characteristics for each phoneme of the speech sample of the human subject.
