Acoustic analysis: many work with children identify problem. Technology: computer mediated language learning leaning pronunciation language learning online. Slp applications for disorders speech (helpful for intonation, see target of pitch line: speech recognition. Automatic speech recognition (turn voice recording into transcription, spelling, other language) Use -> microphone -> sound card -> speech recognition engine -> speech-aware application. Speech recognition engine: phonemes into words: coarticulation, allophony, dialects, quality of recoding, machine must be trained. Better understanding of how of speech production will lead to better technology: speech synthesis. Starting with phonetic transcription works better forensic phonetics.
