proper speech functioning in human being, depends on the precise coordination and timing balances in a series of complex neuro nuscular movements and actions. starting from the prime organ of energy source of expelled air from respirato y system; deliver such air to trigger vocal cords; swift changes of this phonatory episode to a comprehensible sound in resonace and final coordination of all h...

Acquired neurogenic communication disorders can affect language, speech, or both. Although neurogenic speech disorders have been researched for a considerable time, much of this work has been restricted to a few languages (mainly English, with German, French, Japanese and Chinese also represented). Further, the work has concentrated on monolingual speakers. In this account, I aim to outline the...

Multiparametric indices offer a more comprehensive approach to voice quality assessment by taking into account multiple acoustic parameters. Artificial intelligence technology can be utilized in healthcare evaluate data and optimize decision-making processes. Mobile devices provide new opportunities for remote speech monitoring, allowing the use of basic mobile as screening tools early identifi...

Introduction The acquisition of vowels by normally developing children is an area that has received increasing attention in the past decade, but the substitutions that characterize children’s speech remain largely undocumented. Looking at adult phonological substitutions1, we find that the range of normal substitutions is very wide, but clear. There is every reason to believe that we should fin...

Dialogue robots are attractive to people, and in language learning systems, they motivate learners and let them practice conversational skills in more realistic environment. However, automatic speech recognition (ASR) of the second language (L2) learners is still a challenge, because their speech contains not just pronouncing, lexical, grammatical errors, but is sometimes totally disordered. He...

In this paper we propose a combined scheme of linear prediction analysis for feature extraction along with linear projection methods for feature reduction followed by known pattern recognition methods on the purpose of discriminating between normal and pathological voice samples. Two different cases of speech under vocal fold pathology are examined: vocal fold paralysis and vocal fold edema. Th...

The presentation concerns a method for tracking cycle lengths in voiced speech and breaking up vocal cycle length fluctuations in cycle length jitter and cycle length tremor. The tracking of the cycle lengths is based on a dynamic programming algorithm, which does not request that the signal is locally periodic and that the average period length is known a priori. The cycle length time series a...

Background: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of disordered internet use amongadolescent university students and its association with various health complaints and behaviours, and mostimportantly to examine the psychometric properties of 9-item Internet Disorder Scale-Short Form (IDS9-SF)using factor ana...

We describe an interactive 3D system to provide talkers with real-time information concerning their tongue and jaw movements during speech. Speech movement is tracked by a magnetometer system (Wave; NDI, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada). A customized interface allows users to view their current tongue position (represented as an avatar consisting of flesh-point markers and a modeled surface) placed i...

Evidence-based systematic reviews (EBSRs), in conjunction with clinical expertise and client values, are invaluable tools for speech-language pathologists and audiologists. This article provides an overview of the levels-of-evidence scheme used by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to conduct systematic reviews. The goal of ASHA reviews is to provide a tool to help clinicia...
