Tiivistelmä
Appla is an application that utilizes speech recognition technologies to explore new approaches to language learning. The project aimed to build a mobile application that will assist the learning process of full-time working employees, who have little time to go to language courses, while preserving the context of a professional environment.
The project used cutting-edged speech recognition services offered from Google to investigate the case of transcribing real-life conversations in real-time. As a result, two persons could have a talk with each other, while Appla records and simultaneously displays the transcripts of such a conversation. These texts could be reviewed, visualised and analysed to help the purposes of language learning.
As a result, Appla project delivered successfully a working prototype to test and evaluate the original idea of assisting language learning using mobile learning. The project proposed a versatile solution that can further be used as a foundation for future research and development.
