Spark (Speech Performance And Remediation Kit)

Spark empowers people to overcome the challenges of speech errors and become better communicators. Spark is a smart wearable device and app that monitors and assists in the correction of habit-induced speaking challenges such as improper enunciation, filler words, clarity, pace, and energy. Incredibly easy to use, once activated and worn, the SPARK pin learns your unique voice patterns during onboarding and on-the-go. As it is worn throughout the day, Spark will identify and give feedback on any recurring errors in real-time through subtle haptic feedback. It also provides an end-of-day summary and personalised interactive exercises to help improve focus areas. Spark is inclusive; it uses Natural Language Processing, tone analysis, machine learning, and geolocation to identify and understand the subtleties of cultural speech patterns and phonetics. Spark strives to celebrate diversity by making speech improvement accessible to all. This concept envisions a platform that would transcend language barriers, equipping people with the tools to shine in their personal and professional pursuits. More than just a communication resource; Spark aspires to be a catalyst for meaningful connections and self-assurance. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Interaction and User Experience
