ListenUp is a project focusing on addressing voice-based gender bias through technology-supported training. Women are often advised to adjust their way of speaking to counteract bias, yet such strategies are rarely effective and may even backfire. This project shifts attention from the speaker to the listener by developing technology that builds inclusive listening skills.
The project is funded by InspireLab and led by Eva Székely, PhD in Technology and researcher at the Department of Speech, Music, and Hearing (TMH), EECS School, KTH.
