One of the first cues for many neurological disorders are impairments in speech. The
traditional method of diagnosing speech disorders such as dysarthria involves a perceptual …

Purpose This study examines whether there are differences in the speech of speakers with
dysarthria, speakers with apraxia and healthy speakers in spectral acoustic measures …

ABSTRACT Dysarthria and Apraxia of Speech (AoS) are motor speech disorders in which
neurological lesions differentially affect motor control, possibly leading to noticeable …

Purpose: Reduced speech intelligibility is often a hallmark of children with dysarthria
secondary to cerebral palsy (CP), but effects of speech strategies for increasing intelligibility …

This paper proposes an improved Goodness of Pronunciation (GoP) that utilizes Uncertainty
Quantification (UQ) for automatic speech intelligibility assessment for dysarthric speech …

Fricatives are an important class of speech sounds which exhibit noisy characteristics with
dominant high-frequency components. Accurate detection of fricative segments in …

Over the last decade, there has been a notable increase in the pervasiveness of
neurological diseases due to population growth and aging. Among individuals with …

The current study explored the possibility that the consonantal landmarks served as
predictors of dysarthric speech produced by English-speaking adults with cerebral palsy …

Over the past decade, the prevalence of neurological diseases has significantly risen due to
population growth and aging. Individuals suffering from spastic paralysis, brain attack, and …

A fricative sound is produced by the close proximity of two articulators, resulting in a partially
obstructed airstream and turbulent airflow. The frequency spectrum of the majority of …
