Speech research

Speech research involves studying how humans produce and understand spoken language. It examines the natural sounds (phonetics), language structure (linguistics), and cognitive processes involved in speech. Researchers develop technologies to improve speech recognition, synthesis, and communication for people with speech or language difficulties. This field combines insights from linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and engineering to better understand speech mechanisms, enhance communication tools, and address language-related challenges. Ultimately, speech research aims to improve interaction between humans and machines and to support individuals with speech or language impairments.
