Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 工程科學及海洋工程學研究所 === 97 === The study investigates a signal processing technique for the assessment of oral reading fluency to assist children’s reading achievement. Reading voices recognition based on a Hidden Markov Model and the Mandarin Chinese syntax is used to improve the real time character recognition rate out of children’s reading voices. Fluency assessments were performed for reading speed, word accuracy, and prosody. Accuracy was estimated by a voice recognition system. Reading speed is defined as the number of characters read per minute. Prosody includes three parts: pause duration, pitch, and stress. Experiments were conducted to demonstrate the oral reading fluency measures derived from reading sounds of children with different fluency levels. Feedback instructions or indexes could be generated out of the oral reading fluency measures to children for improving their reading achievement.
