Apps and Websites

Here are a list of apps and websites that I had updated, designed and developed for the English Language and Linguistics dept at Glasgow university. The websites focuses on Phonetics which is the study and classification of speech sounds. The field of phonetics is a multilayered subject of linguistics that focuses on speech.

 

The Sounds of the City is an online resource, the resource looks into speech sounds of Glasgow past and present. Just as the landscape of the city has experienced transformations over time, the speech of its residents has been continuously changing.

Dynamic Dialects is an interactive articulatory accent database! Dynamic Dialects contains an articulatory video-based corpus of speech samples from world-wide accents of English. Videos in this corpus contain synchronised audio, ultrasound-tongue-imaging video and video of the moving lips. We are continuing to augment the database.

BAAP is the professional organisation for phoneticians in the British Isles. Its members are involved in research in phonetics, in teaching phonetics in higher education, and in the application of phonetic knowledge in areas such as speech and language therapy, speech technology and forensic science. https://www.baap.ac.uk/  

Currently the BAAP website is a work in progress as I plan to redevelop the website, you can view the new layout of the website
