Yandex Launches SoundsEasy Skill for Alice to Help Children with Speech Disorders

Yandex has released a new Alice skill (for Alice enabled devices) to aid children with speech problems. After extensive testing for a year with speech therapists, Yandex have announced the release via their blog.

According to Russiaā€™s former Minister of Education,Ā nearly 60% of school children struggle with speech problems.

Our intelligent assistant, Alice, has been central to this effort, offering educational and developmental support through skills such as ā€œguess the animalā€ and math games that promote cognitive learning. Last year, our in-house creative team set out to create a skill for Alice that would specifically address an important childhood development issue in Russia using our AI.
