Carnegie Speech:

Carnegie Speech is the premier developer of software for assessing and teaching spoken language skills. Its products, based on technology initially developed at Carnegie Mellon University, use patent-pending speech recognition and pinpointing technology.

The pinpointing technology uses automated speech recognition and advanced Artificial Intelligence techniques to pinpoint exactly where an error is being made in spoken English sounds, rhythm, pitch, or grammar and gives immediate feedback to the user.  The corresponding intelligent tutor then creates an individualized study program for each student – this maximizes the student’s learning effectiveness and minimizes the training time.

Carnegie Speech’s products are installed in 13 countries around the world and have been adopted by customers such as Hewlett Packard, Ernst & Young, and Management Science Associates.
