The improvement of speech recognition and speech analysis
techniques favor the development of tools for various
applications related to speech learning: pathological voice
assessment, aid to diagnosis, aid to oral communication, aid to
speech perception. We arc dealing in this paper with speech
education (and reeducation), and with foreign language teaching.
Based on our experience gained in the development of the
SIRENE 2 system, we present the different aspects of the
ongoing work concerning speech analysis and feature extraction,
automatic guidance of a trainee, and performance assessment.
Emphasis is given to the importance of acoustic-phonetic
analysis at different abstraction levels. These points arc
illustrated with practical examples.
