Cued speech is a visual system of communication used with and among deaf or hard-of-hearing people. It is a phonemic-based system which makes traditionally spoken languages accessible by using a small number of handshapes, known as cues (representing consonants), in different locations near the mouth (representing vowels) to convey spoken language in a visual format.
Visual schedules use a series of pictures to communicate a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity. [1] [2] They are often used to help children understand and manage the daily events in their lives. [3] They can be created using pictures, photographs, or written words, depending upon the ability of the child.
Two men (right, kneeling) hold cue cards to enable a public speech in Japan, 2016. Cue cards were originally used to aid aging actors. One early use was by John Barrymore in the late 1930s. Cue cards did not become widespread until 1949 when Barney McNulty, [3] a CBS page and former military pilot, was asked to write ailing actor Ed Wynn's ...
An AAC user indicates a series of numbers on an eye gaze communication board in order to convey a word. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) encompasses the communication methods used to supplement or replace speech or writing for those with impairments in the production or comprehension of spoken or written language.
Using a teleprompter is similar to using cue cards. The screen is in front of, and usually below, the lens of a professional video camera , and the words on the screen are reflected to the eyes of the presenter using a sheet of clear glass or other beam splitter , so that they are read by looking directly at the lens position, but are not ...
Gestures are distinct from manual signs in that they do not belong to a complete language system. [6] For example, pointing through the extension of a body part, especially the index finger to indicate interest in an object is a widely used gesture that is understood by many cultures [7] On the other hand, manual signs are conventionalized—they are gestures that have become a lexical element ...
Prosodic bootstrapping (also known as phonological bootstrapping) in linguistics refers to the hypothesis that learners of a primary language (L1) use prosodic features such as pitch, tempo, rhythm, amplitude, and other auditory aspects from the speech signal as a cue to identify other properties of grammar, such as syntactic structure.

[2] [7] [108] [109] Speech recognition is possible using cues related to the ENV p, even in situations where the original spectral information and TFS p are highly degraded. [110] Indeed, when the spectrally local TFS p from one sentence is combined with the ENV p from a second sentence, only the words of the second sentence are heard. [111]
