Abstract

The Assistant is an app carefully designed to assist people with expressive language disorder, a lifelong condition that impacts a person’s ability to express their own ideas when they speak. The purpose of this project is to assist the user themselves in practicing how to fluently express themselves, but also to “translate” their speech for those around them that may not understand what the user is saying. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) will play a crucial role in the development of this app, as it allows the system to convert any speech into printed text. The Assistant also has an educational aspect, teaching children and young adults that it is indeed possible to help those who struggle with the basics of speech and expression through the development of an app and progressive technology. In conclusion, The Assistant has a consistent and achievable goal and can be accessed by the population with expressive language disorder if it were launched.
