Vowel Target
|
Vowel Target is a highly interactive game for learning
American English vowel articulation (including the semi-vowel
"er" as in bird).
Specially designed to help language-impaired
children. |
|
| Description
This game allows
the player to adjust his or her tongue position in real time
based on the graphical feedback provided by the game.
Two kinds of graphical feedback are provided; the position of
arrows that appear as the student speaks, and an animated head
cross section that shows an estimate of tongue position.
The game uses an engaging archery theme to hold the student's
interest. Scoring and sounds provide incentives for
performance. This game is intended to be used for home
practice for vowel articulation disorders, but is not intended
to act as a substitute for treatment by a speech-language
professional.
Vowel Target has
also been successfully used for foreign accent reduction, by
placing the vowel sounds in the context of American English
words during the game.
Vowel Target runs
on Windows 95, 98, or NT computers with a Pentium-class
processor, 16Mb of memory, 5Mb of free disk space, a sound
card, and high quality microphone.

Computer Requirements
Detailed Answer
- PC with Windows
95 or higher.
That
means Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista.
If your
computer has a Start button in the lower left comer, you've got
one of those versions. If your computer has enough power to
run Windows 95 it has enough memory and speed to run our programs.
Have a Macintosh computer? There are several options for your Macintosh.
- Sound Card
If
your PC ever plays music (even just at start up) it has a
sound card. If it has external speakers, it probably has a
sound card. Speakers plug into the sound card.
- Microphone
These are
not expensive. We sell them for $9.50.
- Display
(sometimes called Screen or Monitor)
256 color
display (sometimes called "8 bit" color display). We have
not seen a modern computer without this display since the year
2000.
- 20 MB Hard Drive
space per program.
Most
computers 5 years old old or newer have 1000 to 20,000 MB
Hard Drives.
