• Resumen

  • The process of learning correct pronunciation can greatly benefit from the twin disciplines of information visualization (InfoVis) and human-computer interaction (HCI). HCI concerns with design, evaluation, and implementation for the ease of use of users, while InfoVis is responsible for representing multidimensional data in a specific information context. The two disciplines can, therefore, complement each other with the purpose of providing a visualization model in the information context of pronunciation. Such a model could provide an aid to pronunciation learning for different types of users. The proposed model integrates graphic aspects to be able to represent information in such a way that the user can visually capture a greater quantity of diverse voice characteristics and instantly recognize the pronunciation quality.
