Persons who have undergone a laryngectomy have a few options to partially restore speech but no completely satisfactory device. Even though the use of an electrolarynx (EL) is the easiest way for a patient to produce speech, it does not produce a natural tone and appearance is far from normal. Because of that and the fact that none of them are hands-free, the feasibility of using a motion sensor to replace a conventional EL user interface has been explored. A mobile device motion sensor with multi-agent platform has been used to investigate on/off and pitch frequency control capability. A very small battery operated ARM-based control unit has also been developed to evaluate the motion sensor based user-interface. This control unit is placed on the wrist and the vibration device against the throat using support bandage. Two different conversion methods were used for the forearm tilt angle to pitch frequency conversion: linear mapping method and F0 template-based method A perceptual evaluation has been performed with two well-trained normal speakers and ten subjects. The results of the evaluation study showed that both methods are able to produce better speech quality in terms of the naturalness.

The article presents an approach for the application of digital libraries, including a network of ontologies and structured databases in the education of school students in literature, history, geography and biology. The general architecture of a multi-agent platform based on the reference framework of the ViPS (Virtual Physical Space) system, which is being developed in the DeLC Laboratory of the Plovdiv University Paisii Hilendarski“, will be considered. The information and data in this platform are maintained by a hybrid structure of ontologies and databases, with the designed services maintained by intelligent agents and personal assistants. Through interaction between these intelligent components, functionalities are modelled, such as: conducting virtual tours in the teaching of different subjects; automatic generation of questionnaires, tests and surveys; development of project assignments; game-based learning; group assignments, etc. These functionalities and services are aimed at classroom training as well as interest clubs.
