applied phonetics

Applied phonetics is the practical use of phonetics, which is the study of the sounds of human speech. It focuses on how these sounds are used in real-world situations, such as in language teaching, speech therapy, and communication technology. By analyzing speech sounds, applied phonetics helps improve pronunciation, assist those with speech disorders, and enhance voice recognition systems. Essentially, it bridges the gap between theoretical sound analysis and everyday applications, making it easier for people to communicate effectively and understand spoken language in various contexts.
