An Automatic Diagnostic System for Medically Disordered Voice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The automatic detection of vocal cord/vocal tract diseases from the medically disordered speech is a challenging task in the medical field. An automatic diagnostic system for the medically disordered voice is proposed in this paper. The developed system takes speech recorded by a patient having a disorder in his/her voice, as an input. The system gives the type of voice disorder as an output. The output is accompanied by a confidence score that tells about the systems confidence of correctly recognizing the type of the disorder as output. In the system, after the detection of the vowels from the disordered speech, two formants F1 and F2 are extracted from the vowels and Euclidean distance is used for classification. The results of the proposed system are encouraging.

The paper describes the problem of cepstral speech analysis in the process of automated voice disorder probability estimation. The author proposes to derive two of the most diagnostically significant voice features: quality of harmonic structure and degree of subharmonic from cepstrum of speech signal. Traditionally, these attributes are estimated auricularly or by spectrum (or spectrogram) obs...

Most previous studies on acoustic assessment of disordered voice were focused on extracting perturbation features from isolated vowels produced with steady-state phonation. Natural speech, however, is considered to be more preferable in the aspects of flexibility, effectiveness and reliability for clinical practice. This paper presents an investigation on applying automatic speech recognition (...
