We present a novel system to automatically diagnose reading disorders. The system is based on a speech recognition engine with a module for prosodic analysis. The reading disorder test is based on eight different subtests. In each of the subtests, the system achieves a recognition accuracy of at least 95%. As in the perceptual version of the test, the results of the subtests are then joined into a final test result to determine whether the child has a reading disorder. In the final classification stage, the system identifies 98.3% of the 120 children correctly. In the future, our system will facilitate the clinical evaluation of reading disorders.
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.
