CloudCAST — Remote Speech Technology for Speech Professionals

Recent advances in speech technology are potentially of great benefit to the professionals who help people with speech problems: therapists, pathologists, educators and clinicians. There are 3 obstacles to progress which we seek to address in the CloudCAST project: • the design of applications deploying the technology should be user-driven; • the computing resource should be available remotely; • the software should be capable of personalisation: clinical applications demand individual solutions. CloudCAST aims to provide such a resource, and in addition to gather the data produced as the applications are used, to underpin the machine learning required for further progress.
