The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a method for improving speech proficiency by obtaining a speech proficiency value indicator associated with a user and adjusting operational values of a speech classifier based on linguistic features within the speech data. The method involves displaying training text, obtaining speech data from an audio sensor, determining speech characterization vectors, and adjusting the speech classifier based on the vectors and proficiency value. The system can generate a customized error threshold, display speaking prompts for additional data, and distinguish text content based on linguistic features.
The patent also covers an electronic device with processors, memory, audio sensor, display device, and programs for implementing the method described. The device can generate a customized error threshold, display speaking prompts, and adjust operational values of the speech classifier based on speech characterization vectors. The system can provide speech-style values characterizing the speech data, utilize a neural network for the speech classifier, and detect linguistic features within the speech data. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method and system for enhancing speech proficiency through personalized training and adjustment of speech classifier values based on user data.
