Yandex Launches “SoundsEasy” Skill for Intelligent Assistant to Help Children with Speech Disorders


As Yandex continuously creates innovations, they’re exploring more ways their intelligent ecosystem can also provide tools for children and their parents. Yandex’s intelligent assistant, Alice, has been central to this effort, offering educational and developmental support through skills such as “guess the animal” and math games that promote cognitive learning. Last year, their in-house creative team set out to create a skill for Alice that would specifically address an important childhood development issue in Russia using Yandex AI. Today, after a year developing and testing interactive songs with a team of speech therapists, Yandex is proud to introduce parents, children, and teachers to SoundsEasy, a skill for Alice designed to help children with speech disorders and other early speech impediments.

According to Russia’s former Minister of Education, nearly 60% of school children struggle with speech problems. Yandex learned that speech disorders are particularly challenging to tackle in Russia due to a lack of qualified speech therapists, and many parents are unaware of the issues and their impact. In many cases, early speech problems can lead to other developmental concerns that lead to consequences later in life, such as speech impediments. The creative team started researching how they could help improve this with Yandex technologies. While correcting speech needs to be managed by professionals, a skill for Alice could help children practice sounds and form better habits through repetition.

SoundsEasy offers a selection of catchy and fun songs for forming proper speech habits through interactive recitation with fun characters led by Yandex AI. Each SoundsEasy training exercise has three parts – the warm-up, syllable practice, and repeating lines from the songs. Using Yandex speech recognition, Alice carefully listens to the speaker and then compares what it hears with the correct pronunciation of the lyrics. Alice then kindly suggests the child repeat the phrase if it doesn’t match what the assistant is expecting to hear. The characters within SoundsEasy rely on Yandex speech synthesis technologies to naturally interact with children on the content, providing stories, feedback, and encouragement.

Together with a team of speech pathologists, poets, local pop stars, and psychologists, Yandex created SoundsEasy to help improve the current and future lives of children with speech disorders. Speech pathologists provided their expertise to design songs for practicing different sounds, ensuring songs don’t mix difficult sounds that would be overly challenging for listeners. Using the guidelines for writing the songs, poets advised on the lyrics and pop artists recorded catchy songs that are similar to modern pop hits.

Yandex then developed characters with a unique personality for each pop star called Soundies. They designed the Soundies to combat issues such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or stage fright that are often a result of speech problems. For instance, Soundies explain why performing on stage is fun and not scary. Yandex also integrated new lyrics into familiar songs from the popular Fixiki cartoon. Fixies characters, which millions of children across Russia already know and love, introduce listeners to exciting technologies and futuristic professions such as “Drone Racer,” and they’ll now be able to help children practice their speech.

Psychologists provided feedback for adjustments, such as adding more encouragement. The characters now offer more praise, and Yandex introduced other motivational features. Children get a coloring exercise upon completing songs, which serves to also stimulate motor skills. SoundsEasy also aims to promote other essential learning values, such as reading and writing.

Children were also some of the most important collaborators. Through user experience testing, their feedback helped Yandex refine the skill; for example, through their testing, Yandex observed how antsy and excited children tend to be, which is why they added interactive activities to occupy them through the speaking exercises. More importantly, though, the testing period allowed Yandex to see firsthand how much value this new tool will bring to their lives. Several of the children who tested the skill returned home to continue trying it out with their families on their own Alice-enabled devices.

Not only will millions of children and parents benefit from using this interactive Alice skill at home or on the go, kindergartens and other early childhood education centers’ in Moscow will begin using SoundsEasy as part of their curriculum. Speech therapists will also be able to utilize SoundsEasy for Alice by assigning certain songs for children to practice at home, and Yandex hopes to soon incorporate SoundsEasy in teaching curriculums at schools across Russia.

Yandex hopes SoundsEasy raises more awareness of children’s development issues and speech disorders specifically. The company is excited for all the ways SoundsEasy and future AI innovations will help advance childhood development.

Innovative Treatments For Sleep Apnea Featured On “In Depth” With Host Laurence Fishburne


News Image

Sleep is necessary for a healthy body, and medical experts know this, which is why they’re working to find ways to help people suffering from sleeping disorders like sleep apnea.

“Deep Cover”, “Event Horizon”, and “Platoon” star Laurence Fishburne is lending his skills as host to the educational television show “In Depth”. The “In Depth” series features a wide array of industry experts who discuss a myriad of topics that pertain to people all over the world. An upcoming episode will interview medical professionals about the latest treatments and procedures for sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that triggers a person to begin and stop breathing while sleeping. The condition affects an estimated 22 million Americans. There are three varieties of sleep apnea: central sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, and complex sleep apnea sleep syndrome. If a person with sleep apnea goes without treatment, then they are at risk for developing some severe consequences such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and depression. These can all lead to even more serious health consequences.

As more and more people are becoming sufferers of sleep apnea, medical professionals are creating new and different ways to treat the disorder. Some of these treatments use a tool that monitors breathing and stimulates a nerve to keep the airway open. Another type of treatment involves implanting a device in the body that opens the airway, allowing for normal breathing and peaceful sleeping.

Sleep is necessary for a healthy body, and medical experts know this, which is why they’re working to find ways to help people suffering from sleeping disorders like sleep apnea. “In Depth” with Laurence Fishburne will explore these new treatments on a new episode airing soon.

“In Depth” with Laurence Fishburne is a carefully reviewed informational program before broadcast. The show has accepted a multitude of awards for its endeavors in public television.

Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) Offers Infertility Community a Dose of Encouragement in New Patient Stories of Hope eBook


Shady Grove Fertility offers encouragement in new Patient Stories of Hope eBook.

Many people come to Shady Grove Fertility looking for answers. While myths persist that women with PCOS cannot get pregnant, the reality is that it is highly treatable and nearly every woman with PCOS should be able to get pregnant.

Patient Stories of Hope” is a collection of personal stories written by SGF patients that provide an honest and heartwarming look into the trials and triumphs patients face in their pursuit to building a family. Each story provides a different and revealing perspective and is meant to serve as a source of strength, hope, and inspiration to those still on the path to parenthood.

After recurrent miscarriages, one SGF patient recalls learning about SGF from a friend, “It did not matter the distance we had to drive—almost 10 hours in one direction—we knew we were doing the right thing. In our first encounter [with SGF] we knew it was the best decision we could have taken. Love, compassion, attention, everything we could ever expect—and more—was provided to us,” recalls Andreia, who chose SGF’s 100% refund guarantee program to help build their family.

After premature menopause stopped her cycles at a young age, this anonymous couple experienced deep sadness and started to lose hope. While in the process of grieving and coming to terms with this reality, they learned about embryo donation at SGF, something they had never heard of before. It brought them the child they had long hoped for.

“Our daughter has a unique story of incredible, amazing, selfless love! We feel that SGF’s Donor Embryo Program is a ‘win-win’ situation. The donors who fought to hard and long are happy that they remaining embryos can be donated, thawed and have the chance of being born. My husband and I, who tried for so long to get pregnant, received that amazing gift,” recalls one SGF patient.

Jennifer and Tara, a same-sex couple, recalled, “We began this journey with an idea of how to choose a donor, but SGF actually gave us more resources than we had expected. The provided Jennifer and I with several different options on where to receive donor sperm and helped us understand some of the medical and genetic screenings that were important in selecting a donor.”

“We welcomed our sweet boy Henry into the world. Our family is now complete thanks to the inclusive care and support from Shady Grove Fertility,” Tara added.

SGF patients Meghan and Joshua shared how devastated they were to hear from a previous doctor that there was ‘no way’ Meghan would be able to get pregnant with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). And if she did, she was told it would likely be an unsafe pregnancy. Thankfully, the couple stayed persistent and sought a second opinion elsewhere, and then finally a third opinion at SGF. “I now have a beautiful baby girl and I cannot express how grateful I am to everyone at SGF who helped my husband and me throughout our journey. Having my daughter and finally becoming a mother is nothing short of a miracle and the answer to an infinite amount of prayer,” Meghan recalls.

Many people come to Shady Grove Fertility looking for answers. Affecting nearly one-third of all infertility diagnoses, PCOS is the most common ovulatory disorder in women of reproductive age. However, while myths persist that women with PCOS cannot get pregnant, the reality is that it is highly treatable and nearly every woman with PCOS should be able to get pregnant.

When SGF first opened its doors in 1991, one Shady Grove Fertility baby was born approximately every 20 days. Today, more than 12 SGF babies are born each day, every day. This ebook and their newest ‘Better Approach’ campaign hopefully serves as a reminder that there are now treatments available to help almost everyone conceive.

What is a ‘Better Approach’? SGF believes it is arming people with knowledge about their reproductive systems, raising awareness that infertility is a real disease that affects both men and women equally, and encouraging people to seek help from a specialist sooner than later so they can make informed decisions about their care and make progress toward their dream of parenthood.

The standardized templates and processes through these projects allow Sovereign to replicate best-in-industry practices for future projects, small or large.

“Sovereign’s strive to push boundaries within their own organization and within the ASC market, along with Attainia’s driving strategy to constantly innovate and reimagine healthcare processes, has proven to be a perfect match,” Chhabra said. “We look forward to many years of working with the Sovereign team and for their contributions to enhancing our platform.”

Sandwich, MA Oral Surgeon, Dr. William Lane, Rejuvenates the Function and Aesthetics of Smiles with Full Mouth Reconstruction


Dr. William Lane, Oral Surgeon in Sandwich and Plymouth, MA

Dr. William Lane, Sandwich, MA Oral Surgeon, Offers Full Mouth Reconstruction

After full mouth reconstruction, patients can return to a healthy, natural lifestyle.

Patients who are dissatisfied with the appearance or function of their mouth can receive full mouth reconstruction from distinguished Sandwich, MA oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane. When performed by an oral surgeon, full mouth reconstruction can include advanced procedures like bone grafting and facial trauma treatments to help patients who may have suffered from an accident or whose mouth causes them constant discomfort. After full mouth reconstruction, patients can return to a healthy, natural lifestyle.

“Patients that we see with a dentition that is significantly diseased complain mostly about function, such as not being able to eat what they want or digest their food properly. Secondarily, they have the issue of appearance, the cosmetic aspect of the problem,” says Dr. Lane. “They are motivated by pain or active disease, and for many, it is ongoing and something they have dealt with for years and years. We are able to help them through a variety of means.”

Full mouth reconstruction is designed to transform a flawed, damaged mouth into one that is both functional and attractive again. Patients may need full mouth reconstruction after an accident or trauma, or if advanced disease is present. Dr. Lane begins every consultation with an in-depth evaluation of the patient’s mouth and a discussion on their wants, needs and smile goals. The full mouth reconstruction is then planned and may include one or multiple procedures with the end goal of a healthy, functional and attractive mouth. Treatments that may be performed in a full mouth reconstruction include:

  • Dental implants
  • Bone grafting
  • Tooth extraction
  • Facial trauma treatments


Oral surgeons like Dr. Lane are uniquely qualified to perform full mouth reconstruction treatments due to their skill, training and experience. In cases where a patient needs dental implants to complete their smile but does not have enough jawbone to secure the implants, Dr. Lane performs bone grafting. Bone grafting requires delicate and careful skill to restore bone volume, both filling in the facial appearance and creating enough bone for an oral surgeon to place a dental implant. Dr. Lane has years of dental and surgical experience behind him and uses some of the most modern technology in dentistry today. For patients with dental anxiety, he offers sedation, including advanced IV sedation, to block sensations of discomfort and help patients relax.

Those in need of restorative dentistry to improve the function of their mouth or the appearance of their smile are encouraged to make an appointment with Sandwich, MA oral surgeon, Dr. Lane, by visiting http://www.laneoralsurgery.com or calling 508-746-8700 to schedule a consultation. Appointments can be made at both their Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA locations.

About the Oral Surgeon

Lane Oral Surgery offers oral and maxillofacial surgical care at their offices in Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA. Renowned oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane graduated from Harvard University, received his doctorate from Boston University, and completed his residency training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in a combined program at Boston University and Tufts University. Dr. Lane created the revolutionary SmileOn!™ same day full mouth dental implant solution to help patients with missing teeth regain their smile, their confidence, and normal dental function. In addition to his SmileOn! solution, Dr. Lane offers bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, and full mouth reconstruction.
