LEST - Letter Sound Rules vs Ling Usage & Stats

The Letter Sound Test (LeST) tests a person’s ability to sound out single letters and letter combinations. - Run a LeST test session in under 10 minutes. - Automated percentile and z-score calculations for graphemes. - Practice marking before you buy. - Hear correct pronunciations of all the letter-sound combinations before you buy. More about the LeST: In order to be able to sound out words, we need to know which sound a letter or letter combination corresponds to. The LeST evaluates which letter(s) a person can sound out in isolation (i.e., not in the context of a word or nonword). The LeST is a simple reading aloud task and contains 51 graphemes (single letters and letter combinations). This test can be administered to individual students. At the end of the test, the tester gets an overview of the grapheme a reader can sound out in isolation. The tester may then decide to train the letter-sound-correspondences for the letters that the reader could not sound out correctly. This app has been developed from the LeST literacy assessment tool created by Macquarie University Centre for Reading.

Now you can do Ling tests and store the results over time in our handy app. The Ling Six Sound Test is used to check if the listener can hear speech sounds across the pitch range of normal speech. To understand spoken conversation successfully, you need to be able to reliably hear low to high pitch speech sounds. The RIDBC Ling Sound Test app has been created to allow you to quickly check that hearing devices (hearing aids, cochlear implants or bone conductors) are delivering speech sounds to the listener as they should from day to day. The app replaces the need to record and store test results on paper, providing useful information about the reliability of speech perception over time. The app allows a user to play each of the 6 sounds (ah, ee, mm, oo, sh, ss) during the test and record the results for one or multiple users. Ling sounds are pre-recorded in a male and a female voice, or you can record your own. These pre-recorded sounds also allow the user to self-check their devices by playing sounds in random order.
