Orphan date February 2009 The GNOME Speech API allows developers to incorporate speech technology into user interfaces for their GNOME applications. This API specifies a cross platform interface to support command and control recognizers, dictation systems and speech synthesizers. This GSAPI release is just a specification, not an implementation. The plan is to release it to the GNOME community for review. From feedback provided by reviewers and our attempts to implement the API as defined, the specification will be refined until it provides a clean and consistent API. This will then be GNOME Speech v1.0. Note that there is currently already a gnome speech CVS module on cvs.gnome.org. This provides a simple text to speech TTS API that provides sufficient support to allow the gnopernicus screen reader to function appropriately. For now, the GSAPI GNOME Speech module is being kept as a separate entity to avoid confusion.

Cluttered speech is a common term for speech that becomes broken down, cluttered, or unintelligible due to a variety of reasons. Cluttered speech is often described as hurried, nervous, broken down, stuttering, stammering, and cluttering. Cluttered speech happens extensively with the speech disorder of cluttering , but is more commonly found in various disorders and especially in normal speech not associated with the disorder of cluttering. Cluttered speech during normal speech Stuttering The common usage of stuttering is more similar to cluttered speech than to the speech disorder of stuttering. The common usage of stuttering refers to the nervous speech type of cluttered speech.

Speech delay , also known as alalia , refers to a delay in the development or use of the mechanisms that produce speech. Speech communication Speech , as distinct from language , refers to the actual process of making sounds, using such organs and structures as the lungs, vocal cords, mouth, tongue, teeth, etc. Language delay refers to a delay in the development or use of the knowledge of language. Because language and speech are two independent stages, they may be individually delayed. For example, a child may be delayed in speech i.e., unable to produce intelligible speech sounds , but not delayed in language. In this case, the child would be attempting to produce an age appropriate amount of language, but that language would be difficult or impossible to understand. Conversely, since a child with a language delay typically has not yet had the opportunity to produce speech sounds, it is likely to have a delay in speech as well.

While grammatical and syntactic learning can be seen as a part of language acquisition , speech acquisition focuses on the development of speech perception and speech production over the first years of lifetime. Development of speech perception Sensory learning concerning acoustic speech signals already starts during pregnancy. The newborn is already capable of discerning many phonetic contrasts. This capability may be innate. Speech perception becomes language specific for vowels at around 6 months, for sound combinations at around 9 months and for language specific consonants at around 11 months. ref Kuhl PK 2004 Early language acquisition cracking the speech code.
