Abstract
This research reveals the need for more user experience and usability research on speech recognition technology for users with apraxia. First, it offers an integrative review of findings from 2009 to 2020. Only 9 of 120 provided sufficient detail about the 20% of the users diagnosed with apraxia of speech. The studies covered therapeutic rather than mundane settings. Second, the research gathers Twitter feedback about speech recognition products and speech impediments. Most of the 143 tweets were negative about the performance of speech recognition technologies. Future studies should include more homogeneous samples in terms of speech conditions and more heterogeneous samples in terms of demographics. Future studies should also gather more direct user feedback, compare technologies, and modify user experience and usability research methods.
