Acoustic Cue for Stress Perception in Kannada Speaking Children
Abstract: The perception of prosody is necessary to understand the intent of a spoken utterance, especially to appreciate the intricacies of a language. Prosody or the supra-segmental component is made up of stress (accent), intonation and the rhythmic (timing) patterns of language. Stress indicates the most prominent syllable/word in an utterance. Literature suggests language-specific acoustic cues for stress perception. Hence the present study was aimed to determine the major acoustic correlate …

Integrating Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Recognizing American Sign Language
Abstract: The only way the hearing-impaired community can exchange ideas is by utilizing non-verbal communication. The main challenge, however, is that the non-impaired community, which may not comprehend non-verbal communication, would struggle to communicate effectively with this group, and vice versa. The project is purposely devised to admit unwilling and dumb societies to transport ideas and connect with the organization. It aims to bridge the gap between the hearing- and speech-impaired …

Hearing, Speech, and Language Characteristics in a Case with Hemoglobinopathy Secondary to Beta Thalassemia Intermedia
Abstract: Background: Thalassemia is an inherited disorder characterized by a reduced amount or absence of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein inside the red blood cell. Thalassemia has its types called alpha and beta-thalassemia. Beta thalassemia is a condition in which there is a reduction or deficit in the synthesis of the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin molecules caused by a mutation in chromosome eleven. Beta thalassemia can be broadly categorized into three main …
