Tingog: Reading and Speech Application for Children with Repaired Cleft Palate

Children with repaired cleft palate are encouraged to attend speech therapies as post-surgery treatment. However, not all have access to speech services. Tingog is a mobile application employing Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech API that is designed for the accessibility of use for children with repaired cleft palate aged three to eight years old. Through its learning outline and integrated features, it aims to bring speech services and optimized learning experience to its users. While yet to be put through an acceptance test, this study shows that the application, through thorough software test evaluation, has successfully met the minimum requirements set for it to be deployed. The mobile application is developed in collaboration with Smile Train Organization and now available on Google Playstore.
