Langofone - Language Learning in your Pocket
Preben Wik
Center for Speech Technology (CTT), Dept. Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden
We demonstrate Langofone - a language learning system for mobile phones, developed by The
Centre for
Speech Technology at KTH, together with Luli Media group, and Sirocco. Langofone consists of three
sections:
- PhraseBook: Listen to recordings of phrases, organized by topic into packages.
Record your own attempts to say a phrase, send your recordings to the analysis server, and get
feedback consisting of four individual scores and a weighted average.
- Quiz: Reading and listening comprehension on a list of phrases you would like to practice
through multiple-choice questions
- Translate: An API to Google translate, allowing you to translate any word or sentence
from and to 12 languages
Langofone is compatible with approximately 90 per cent of all cell phones on the European market.
