title = "A framework for virtual reality training to improve public speaking",
abstract = "This paper presents the logic and construction of a prototype virtual reality (VR) tool for public speech training. It reflects upon previous endeavours in this area, using them to make informed design decisions. A dictation recognizer is implemented to perform speech to text conversions. With this training simulator, users are able to step into a virtual environment resembling a podium in an auditorium, with their speech appearing on a virtual cue card. Also, users are presented with a performance metric at the end of their speech to grade their overall performance. We suggest that the VR immersive prototype using speech-to-text recognition has the potential to be engaging and to serve as a tool for public speaking training.",
