Abstract: Some spectral transition features are introduced and tested in samples from dysarthric patients. The goal is to explore their potential as descriptors of articulatory deviations. This preliminary analysis includes only stop consonants extracted from the diadochokinetic task. Results and discussion are detailed for each one of the dysarthric groups included in the experiment.

Phoneme-Discriminative Features for Dysarthric Speech Conversion
We present in this paper a Voice Conversion (VC) method for a person with dysarthria resulting from athetoid cerebral palsy. VC is being widely researched in the field of speech processing because of increased interest in using such processing in applications such as personalized Text-To-Speech systems. A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)-based VC method has been widely researched and Partial Least ...
متن کاملSpectral Features for Automatic Blind Intelligibility Estimation of Spastic Dysarthric Speech
In this paper, we explore the use of the standard ITU-T P.563 speech quality estimation algorithm for automatic assessment of dysarthric speech intelligibility. A linear mapping consisting of three salient P.563 internal features is proposed and shown to accurately estimate spastic dysarthric speech intelligibility. Delta-energy features are further proposed in order to characterize the atypica...
متن کاملRecognition of Dysarthric Speech Using Voice Parameters for Speaker Adaptation and Multi-Taper Spectral Estimation
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder resulting from impairment in muscles responsible for speech production, often characterized by slurred or slow speech resulting in low intelligibility. With speech based applications such as voice biometrics and personal assistants gaining popularity, automatic recognition of dysarthric speech becomes imperative as a step towards including people with dysar...
متن کاملClassification of emotional speech using spectral pattern features
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...
متن کاملAn Automatic Dysarthric Speech Recognition Approach using Deep Neural Networks
Transcribing dysarthric speech into text is still a challenging problem for the state-of-the-art techniques or commercially available speech recognition systems. Improving the accuracy of dysarthric speech recognition, this paper adopts Deep Belief Neural Networks (DBNs) to model the distribution of dysarthric speech signal. A continuous dysarthric speech recognition system is produced, in whic...
