The UC Davis Phonetics Lab and Language Learning Lab hosted our Speech Science booth at the 2024 UC Davis Picnic Day on Saturday, April 20th at the Children's Discovery Fair!
Dr. Michelle Cohn organized the booth and activities: we had spectrograms / waveforms that adults & kids could circle to learn about the components of speech, as well as a 'Bot or Not' experiment they could try to determine if speakers were text-to-speech (TTS) or human voices.
