Abstract

The Speech Therapy Animation and imaging Resource (STAR) is a Web-based anglophone Speech and Language Therapy resource, that hosts over 1,000 videos showing the visible and hidden movements of speech articulators, using (i) ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) with lip camera video, (ii) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and MRI-based animation. The STAR resource focuses on children’s speech therapy and comprises of (1) a teaching and training website, which will host UTI videos of disordered and nondisordered child speech, nondisordered adult speech, and MRI videos of modelled speech (2) an in-clinic website hosting vocal-tract animations to aid speech therapy and speech practise at home. STAR will be the first resource of its kind, providing Speech and Language Therapy students and teachers with real examples of imaged and animated vocal tract movement in disordered and nondisordered speech.
