くちトレ

The "Kuchi-Tre" app trains the "mouth, tongue, and throat" speech organs by repeating "speaking" training by repeating over 1,700 difficult-to-speak words and Pataka words, improving the smooth tongue, and smooth swallowing. Is a tool for.
Training the "swallowing power" of your mouth and throat will help prevent future dysphagia. Let's use “Kuchi-Train” to easily “speak” every day to train your “mouth, tongue, and throat” to help improve your tongue and swallow.
* The Pataka language is a word that uses all parts of the mouth that pronounce Japanese consonants (lips: mainly Pa line, tongue tip: mainly Ta line, back tongue: mainly Ka line).

* What to do if a message stating "There is a problem, I'm closing the Kuchitre app" is displayed at the timing of recording
Activate the "Settings" app on the device → "Apps" → "Kuchitore" → "Authority" to turn on the microphone and storage permissions.

■ Function of "Kuchi-Tre" application

① Prior practice of mouth area
 1. Training to increase tension in the lips
   Word-centered training with many "ha-pa-ma" lines

 2. Training to increase tongue tension
   Word-centered training that includes many "sa, za, ta, da, etc." lines

 3. Rear throat / tongue posterior strain training
   Word-centered training with many "ka" lines

② Main training
 1. Randomly trained from over 1,700 words that are difficult to speak and Pataca words for training

 2. 3 sets of repeated utterances of 3 breaths (9 utterances in total). The purpose is not to speak early, but to move the vocal organs properly


③ Speech check / history list
 1. In order to check the results of daily training, we score the points with 5 indicators (clarity, vitality, naturalness, speaking speed, and consistency) and realize the effect of training.

 2. You can see the history list of speech check. You can check the improvement numerically from the history of verbal check you checked.

■ What is utterance check analysis?
The speech data can be evaluated from 5 perspectives, digitized and checked.

① Clarity (smooth tongue)
Judgment criteria: Is correct pronunciation made?
Utilization technology: voice recognition

② Energy (volume)
Judgment criteria: Can you speak loudly?
Utilization technology: sound pressure analysis

③ Naturalness (inflection)
Judgment criteria: Can you speak with intonation?
Utilization technology: pitch analysis

④ Speaking speed (speaking speed)
Judgment criteria: Can you speak at an appropriate speed (5 mora / second)?
Utilization technology: Speech rate analysis

⑤ Consistency (stable)
Judgment criteria: Can a certain voice strength be maintained?
Utilization technology: sound pressure analysis

comment
This "Kuchi-Tre" is practice software that uses words that allow you to fully exercise the lower jaw, lip, front and back of the tongue, and respiratory muscles required for swallowing, sliding tongue, and breathing. It is effective to practice in the correct posture so that the respiratory muscles are also stabilized. When you breathe in, stretch your neck slightly upwards, inhale slowly through your nose (about 4 to 5 seconds), and stretch your spine when you say a word three times repeatedly.
