We have just released a tech demo for testing ASR for game-based learning.

This is a very simple game using automatic speech recognition. Try to read the highlighted sentences, either in one shot or in smaller chunks. The more words the computer hears, the higher your score! The better your pronunciation and fluency the more the computer will pick up.

While this was designed with game-based language applications in mind, it has also been suggested that this type of application could be useful for people with speech impediments.

This is freeware. We would really appreciate your feedback.

*Do you think playing video game using English would be helpful to your learning?

*Was it difficult to get the Magic Book game to understand your English?

*Was it difficult to set up Magic Book?

*What are your suggestions and comments?

EDIT>>> I forgot the download link. Silly me
