  • Patent number: 10586556
    Abstract: A method of providing real-time speech analysis for a user includes capturing a speech input, performing a real-time recognition of the speech input including converting the speech input to a text using an automatic speech recognition component, analyzing the recognized speech input, by a processing unit of a computer in a speech recognition and analyzing system, to identify an error in the user's speech, and by comparing a voice of a correct text generated by a speech generation and analyzing system with the captured speech input, and providing a real-time correction to the user based on a result of the comparing the voice of the correct text with the captured speech input. The comparing the voice of the correct text with the captured speech input includes comparing a standard pronunciation of the correct text with a pronunciation of the user in the captured speech input to identify the error.
