The electropalatograph software

Abstract

The Electropalatograph Software is a Windows® based software which is developed using Microsoft® Visual C++ 6.0. This software will receive data from an electropalatograph device via a parallel port. This software will then detect the tongue — palate contact pattern. This pattern will be manipulated and displayed on the screen. Subsequently, this pattern can be compared with existing patterns in the library. The Electropalatograph Software provides a few methods of comparison. With these resources a patient having difficulty in speech can be taught to improve their speech. This software also provides a built in help file which be a great assistance to new user and those who are not familiar with electropalatograph software. A simulation software is used as a virtual device to test this software. This simulation software has an artificial palate which consists of 62 sensors on the artificial palate itself This simulation software would make it easier for user to understand the Electropalatograph software.
