background: since most clinical treatments of persian children’s language impairments are based on either the therapist, clinicians’ experiences (mostly), or english language norms (sometimes), comparing two minor indices of speech quality, namely “mean length of utterance” (mlu) and “mean length of five phrasal utterances” (mlfpu) between different age groups of children, would be unequivocall...

In this contribution objective measures for quality assessment of speech signals are evaluated for listeningroom compensation algorithms. Dereverberation of speech signals by means of equalization of the room impulse response and reverberation suppression has been an active research topic within the last years. However, no commonly accepted objective quality measures exist for assessment of the...

We demonstrate a prototype assessment technology designed to enable unobtrusive, real time assessment of group dynamics from speech. As part of that work, we describe a test bed for experimentation with alternative approaches for automatic processing of speech for this purpose. Furthermore, we present a specific successful technique for predicting activity levels and amount of overlapping speec...

The current study tried to explore the effects of assessment types and learners’ gender on EFL performance in speech accuracy. To this end, 60 homogenous students out 90 from Rahe Farda Institute Bastak Hormozgan province were selected based Quick Oxford Placement Test. instruments an Test, peer self-assessment questionnaires adopted Patri Weir’s Analytic Speaking Criteria. results calculated u...
