Abstract

Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) is becoming more and more popular these days. However, the accuracy of existing CAPT systems is still quite low. Therefore, this diploma thesis focuses on improving existing methods for automatic pronunciation evaluation on the segmental level. The first part describes common techniques for this task. Afterwards, we proposed the system based on two approaches. Finally, performed experiments show significant improvement over the reference system.

Keywords

automatic pronunciation evaluation, computer-aided pronunciation training, automatic speech recognition, deep neural networks, recurrent neural networks
