We address the problem of language model customization in applications where the ASR component needs to manage domain-specific terminology; although current state-of-the-art speech recognition technology provides excellent results for generic domains, the adaptation to specialized dictionaries or glossaries is still an open issue.

In this study, we develop a mispronunciation assessment system that checks the pronunciation of non-native English speakers, identifies the commonly mispronounced phonemes of Italian learners of English, and presents an evaluation of the non-native pronunciation observed in phonetically annotated speech corpora.
