A Digital Speech and Language Sample Application for Clinical Diagnostics and Monitoring in Swiss German
DiSpLA will be the first automatic speech recognition and language analysis app built for clinical use in Swiss German. The focus will be on speech-language changes in patients with dementia and children with speech-language disorders. Identifying and analyzing speaker-specific markers will reduce costs and time for clinical diagnoses and monitoring.
