STAR Speech Therapy Animation and imaging Resource

Privacy Notice

What is STAR?

Speech Therapy Animation and imaging Resource (STAR) is a web resource containing Ultrasound Tongue Imaging (UTI), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) videos of the vocal organs moving in real time during speech. It also contains animations of the vocal organs moving during speech. By showing the hidden movements of the tongue and vocal organs, STAR aims to be useful in Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) training and Continual Professional Development (CPD), as well as for use in clinic for paediatric speech therapy. STAR has been constructed by a team of researchers based at the University of Glasgow and the University of Strathclyde. The project has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
