Abstract

The main objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of Malay automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine as a tool in speech rehabilitation among children with Down syndrome (DS) in Malaysia. Three children with DS were asked to use an application called MyCard during the evaluation session. Integrating with Malay ASR engine, MyCard was designed to enable the children with DS to practice their Malay articulation skills. Identifying which parts of MyCard causing the usability and fun problems on the children and therefore needed to improve would eventually increase the feasibility of the application in the speech rehabilitation for children with Down syndrome. Therefore, an adaptive coding scheme was used to assess the feasibility of MyCard based on usability and fun aspects. Based on the findings, the result suggests that the recording scene was appeared being most trouble for the children in thisstudy.
