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.
