“…In cases of stuttering, the system ensures a direct access to electronic correction tools, which facilitate training and learning to speak fluently. The system also assists in electronic speech prosthesis fitting [3][4] [18]. In particular, the package of services is available via the Internet and on typical personal computers, which makes cost effective dissemination of the service possible.…”

With the increase in access to multimedia computers, speech training can be made available to patients with no continuous assistance required from speech therapists. Another function the system can easily perform is screening testing of speech fluency providing directed information to patients who have various speech disorders and problems with understanding speech. The idea underlying the proposed system is a programmed speech therapy training algorithm consisting of diagnostic tools and rehabilitation devices connected with it. The first function the system has to perform is data acquisition where information about the patient's medical history is collected. This is done through electronic questionnaires. The next function is analysis of the speech signal articulated by the patient when prompted by the computer followed by some multimedia tests carried out in order to assess the subject's ability to understand speech. Next, the results of the electronic questionnaire, the patient's voice and patient's reactions are automatically analyzed. Based on that the system automatically diagnoses possible speech disorders and how strong they are. A large number of schoolchildren was tested with this method. In the paper foundations of applied speech testing method and obtained results will be demonstrated.
