Dysarthria is a speech motor disorder where the muscles responsible for speech production, such as in the face, mouth, or respiratory system, have trouble coordinating and controlling themselves. Our research goal is to help individuals with dysarthria communicate effectively. Often, physical conditions make it challenging for them to express their thoughts through writing. Our research introduces an automatic speech assistant solution, consisting of two main parts: speech recognition and auto-correct. The speech recognition component takes the person's distorted speech as input, converts it to text, and then sends it to the auto-correct module to fix any mistakes or unclear words. We tested our model on both English and Arabic datasets. The English dataset showed a 50% Word Error Rate (WER) which was reduced to 40% after using the auto-correct module. Our results outperformed previous studies by 4.5%. However, the WER on the Arabic dataset was 80% which is not a satisfactory result, due to the limited size of the Egyptian Dialect Dysarthric Speech (EDDS) database.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
