| PATSY - Phraseology and Pronunciation Training System for ATC Communication PATSY is an abbreviation for its German name
``Piloten/ATC Trainingssystem
f\"ur den Sprechfunk'' which translates to pilot/air
traffic control (ATC)
training system for radio communication. The
phraseology training system is
intended to be a stand-alone, platform-independent,
multi-user e-Learning
framework for learning and practicing the ATC radio
communication wordings
and at the same time improving intelligibility of the
speaker by
pronunciation scoring. A serious gaming approach is
aimed at, which allows
the user to practice his or her communication skills
in almost real-life
scenarios. At the Show and Tell session at
Interspeech 2015, we would like
to present a subsystem of PATSY in which we only
concentrate on
pronunciation scoring. The speaker is prompted to
record a sequence of
words of the NATO phonetic alphabet and he is given
back a visually
enhanced feedback regarding his pronunciation score.
Further aspects of
PATSY are the verification of correct syntax and the
assessment of the
speaker's ``comfort level'' which states how familiar
the speaker is with
the topic in question. | Project manager:
