Is language learning software with speech analysis really accurate? Is it worth the money?

We Answered:

Generally, I would say it's not very accurate. Those kinds of programmes can roughly assess single sounds (eg. /p/ or /e/), but personal accent, connected speech, and regional variances tend to count as 'bad pronunciation' (despite being perfectly normal and common in real speech).

But...

When learning a language with tones, like Mandarin Chinese, a programme like this can really ensure that you are using the correct tones.

So in this case, I would say definitely get it (or something else with speech analysis - I use Language Now, BYKI)

How does high blood pressure have an effect on speech?

We Answered:

High blood pressure can cause strokes, which can have a devastating effect on speech, language, swallowing and cognition.
High temperatures can affect cognitive , language, speech and swallowing functioning due to an "acute confusional state".
Low pulse-ox readings are particularly important not only for cognitive problems, but severe swallowing problems happen, too. This is due to changing coordination of the stages and mechanisms of swallowing.
