Automated Speech Recognition in Adult Stroke Survivors: Comparing Human and Computer TranscriptionsPhoni by S.karger Ag - 1d ago Preview    AUTO POST  SAVE TO EVERNOTEObjective: Speech sound errors are common in people with a variety of communication disorders and can result in impaired message transmission to listeners. Valid and reliable metrics exist to quantify this problem, but they are rarely used in clinical settings due to the time-intensive nature of speech transcription by humans. Automated...

Production of Vowels by Electrolaryngeal Speakers Using Clear SpeechPhoni by S.karger Ag - 15h ago Preview    AUTO POST  SAVE TO EVERNOTEBackground/Aims: This study examined the effect of clear speech on vowel productions by electrolaryngeal speakers. Method: Ten electrolaryngeal speakers produced eighteen words containing /i/, /ɪ/, /ɛ/, /æ/, /eɪ/, and /oʊ/ using habitual speech and clear speech. Twelve listeners transcribed 360 words, and a total of 4,320 vowel stimuli across speaking conditions,...

Maximum Performance Tests in the Assessment of Neurogenic Speech ImpairmentPhoni by S.karger Ag - 13h ago Preview    AUTO POST  SAVE TO EVERNOTEBackground: Maximum performance tests are widely used in dysarthria assessment. From a theoretical perspective, the motor demands of such tasks differ from those of speaking. Therefore, their validity as measures of dysarthric impairment needs to be established empirically. Patients and Methods: Maximum phonation time (MPT) and maximum syllable repetition...
