Automatic Speech Recognition for Speech Assessment of Persian Preschool Children

Understand

Preschool evaluation is crucial because it gives teachers and parents influential knowledge about children's growth and development.

• The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the necessity of online assessment for preschool children.
• One of the areas that should be tested is their ability to speak.
• Employing an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system would not help since they are pre-trained on voices that differ from children's in terms of frequency and amplitude.
