Re-Sonance: A Dysarthric Asynchronous Real-Time Speech Conversion System Based on a Three-Stage Cascaded ASR-LLM-TTS Architecture
Individuals with dysarthria face significant challenges in professional speaking scenarios such as conferences, presentations, and meetings, where real-time communication is crucial. While existing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems provide basic support, they often fail to meet the demands of professional speaking environments due to high latency and unnatural speech patterns.
