Linta's Speech Patterns and Challenges

Linta's speech analysis document outlines issues with speech recognition of certain words. The computer might misunderstand words like: 1. "Eye or even" as "iodeven" due to pronunciation changes. 2. "Cause" as "course" and "simple" as "cymbal" due to sound substitutions. 3. Additional issues include singular/plural inconsistencies, word omissions, incorrect articles, and interference from the speaker's native language. The document concludes the speech has a high unintelligibility factor and suggests less exposure to reading.
