Abstract

A method and device for detecting errors when practicing fluency shaping exercises, are presented. The method includes receiving a set of initial energy levels; setting a set of thresholds to their respective initial values; receiving a voice production of a user practicing a fluency shaping exercise; analyzing the received voice production to compute a set of energy levels composing the voice production; detecting based on the computed set of energy levels, the set of initial energy levels, and the set of a threshold of at least one speech-related error, wherein the detection of the at least one speech-related error is respective of the fluency shaping exercise being practiced by the user; and upon detection of the at least one speech-related error, generating a feedback indicating the at least one detected speech-related error.
