Apple today announced a new partnership with Warner Music to launch “Saylists”, which are special playlists available on Apple Music that focus on helping young people with speech and sound disorders.
As reported by BBC News, the project uses algorithms to identify songs that repeat sounds that are difficult to pronounce for those who have speech disorders. “One in 12 children in the UK is believed to suffer from some form of speech and sound disorder (SSD),” says the report.
Children with speech sound disorders may be helped with some therapeutic strategies, which include repetition of sounds such as “ch”, “s” and “z”. So far, 173 songs have been chosen to be used among all available playlists, including Dua Lipa’s Don’t Start Now and Fatboy Slim’s Right Now.
And, using the algorithm, Apple Music analyzed the lyrics for the 70 million tracks in its catalog to choose the ones that repeated them most often.
Users will find 10 different playlists with songs that often repeat the following sounds: “ch,” “d,” “f,” “g,” “k,” “l,” “r,” “s,” “ t, ”E“ z. ”Although playlists have only songs in English, everyone can access them on Apple Music. You just need to search for “Saylists” and tap on the Playlists option in the Music application.
