Catalog description

Phonetic transcription is a skill used by speech-language pathologists to record and analyze the speech production abilities of their clients. It is used when gathering speech samples of individual clients over time, to evaluate whether they demonstrate a speech articulation disorder or a dialectal difference, and to monitor progress of clients in intervention. Students learn to transcribe speech samples using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and apply this skill to evaluation of speech articulation.
