Lingo Online
LINGO Online: Speak English! A "kids-safe" online multiplayer game designed with sophisticated automated spoken language assessment and training, developed by Magma Studios in partnership with Carnegie Speech Company.
LINGO Online was designed for children (8 to 12 years old) to help them speak English better. LINGO was a highly immersive and engaging game that appealed to even the shyest student. Children can play at their own pace, and receive personalised guidance to help with their individual learning needs. Parents can log in and view their child's progress, mastered and problem words. This was a unique combination of a high-quality multiplayer online game with sophisticated automated spoken language assessment and training technology. In partnership with the world-leading Carnegie Speech Company, LINGO's speech analysis technology was developed through twenty years of research at Carnegie Mellon University's Language Technologies Institute (LTI).
The first adaptation was called V.A.S.T.: Voice Activated Spy Tech for Singapore's Ministry of Education.
