We present a novel system for the automatic evaluation of speech and voice disorders. The system can be accessed via the internet platform-independently. The patient reads a text or names pictures. His or her speech is then analyzed by automatic speech recognition and prosodic analysis. For patients who had their larynx removed due to cancer and for children with cleft lip and palate we show that we can achieve significant correlations between the automatic analysis and the judgment of human experts in a leave-one-out experiment (p<0.001). A correlation of .90 for the evaluation of the laryngectomees and .87 for the evaluation of the children's data was obtained. This is comparable to human inter-rater correlations.

“…Among the speech symptoms directly related to the velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD), there is the hypernasality, defined as a perceptive phenomenon and, therefore, a subjective one, fact that interferes in the reliability of the auditory-perceptual of the speech and that has been targeted by researches for many years, according to the review recently conducted (4) . To ensure greater reliability of results in researches concerning the speech of individuals with the VPD, the literature recommends the use of different evaluators for the perceptual judgment of speech symptoms (5,6) . However, a high level of agreement may be difficult to be achieved, because of several variables.…”

Descritoresbetween the two models. However, the second model showed a higher proportion of accuracy (7%) than the first one, and it has also predicted the borderline VP closure. Conclusion: These results showed the importance of high index of inter-judge agreement when using subjective parameters of speech evaluation, especially when compared to an instrumental evaluation. This suggests the need for strategies for training and calibration of judges in the perceptual judgment to improve the reliability of auditory-perceptual assessment. RESUMO

“…Particularly, when considering changes in speech production in individuals with cleft lip and palate (FLP) 15,16 , there are reports that deficiencies in midface growth may cause distortions/lisping in the production of fricatives 15,17 . In general, the literature reports that, when the mandible is protruded in relation to the maxilla, the tongue may be anteriorly positioned at rest, yielding changes in the airflow during production of alveolar fricatives, which would cause distortion in the production of these consonants.…”

Objetivo investigar se o ceceio, quando identificado, difere entre as fricativas alveolares não vozeadas e vozeadas produzidas por crianças com fissura labiopalatina operada. Métodos estudo prospectivo, em que frases constituídas pelas consoantes [s] e [z] produzidas por 32 crianças com fissura labiopalatina operada (idade média, 8 anos, 8 meses) foram selecionadas de um banco de dados e posteriormente julgadas auditivamente. Todas as crianças apresentavam relação inter-arcos alteradas, conforme avaliação ortodôntica realizada por três ortodontistas (concordância inter-juiz quase perfeita, kappa= 0.81), a partir da análise de modelos de gesso. Três fonoaudiólogas julgaram auditivamente as produções áudio gravadas. A concordância inter-juízes variou entre 56% e 78% e entre 59% e 93% para as frases constituídas de [s] e [z], respectivamente. Resultados o ceceio foi identificado em 69% das crianças e, particularmente, em 72% e 50% das produções envolvendo [s] e [z], respectivamente. Houve diferença significante entre os julgamentos para as fricativas [s] e [z], com maior ocorrência de ceceio em [s]. Conclusões deformidades dentofaciais podem favorecer a ocorrência do ceceio na população com fissura labiopalatina. A maior ocorrência do ceceio em [s] em comparação à [z], a partir da identificação auditiva, pode ser justificado por razões acústicas e/ou articulatórias. Sugere-se que o ceceio é dependente do contexto fonético-fonológico da frase devendo o mesmo ser considerado para fins clínicos e de pesquisa.

Universal Parameters for Reporting Speech Outcomes in Individuals with Cleft Palate

Abstract: A plan has been developed to document speech outcomes in individuals with cleft palate, regardless of the spoken language, using a set of five universal reporting parameters and two global speech parameters.
