Stuttering, also called stammering, is a communication disorder that breaks the continuity of the speech. This program of work is an attempt to develop automatic recognition procedures to assess stuttered dysfluencies and use these…
Stuttering is a speech disorder where the natural flow of speech is interrupted by blocks, repetitions or prolongations of syllables, words and phrases. The majority of existing automatic speech recognition (ASR) interfaces perform poorly…
Stuttering is a complex speech disorder identified by repeti-tions, prolongations of sounds, syllables or words and blockswhile speaking. Specific stuttering behaviour differs strongly,thus needing personalized therapy. Therapy sessions…
Stuttering is a speech disorder during which the flow of speech is interrupted by involuntary pauses and repetition of sounds. Stuttering identification is an interesting interdisciplinary domain research problem which involves pathology,…
Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental speech disorder characterized by common speech symptoms such as pauses, exclamations, repetition, and prolongation. Speech-language pathologists typically assess the type and severity of stuttering by…
Stuttering is a clinical speech disorder that disrupts fluency and leads to significant psychological and social challenges. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Eloquent, a digital speech therapy app for stuttering, by analyzing…
Stuttering is a varied speech disorder that harms an individual's communication ability. Persons who stutter (PWS) often use speech therapy to cope with their condition. Improving speech recognition systems for people with such non-typical…
Clinical diagnosis of stuttering requires an assessment by a licensed speech-language pathologist. However, this process is time-consuming and requires clinicians with training and experience in stuttering and fluency disorders.…
Stuttering is a neuro-developmental speech impairment characterized by uncontrolled utterances (interjections) and core behaviors (blocks, repetitions, and prolongations), and is caused by the failure of speech sensorimotors. Due to its…
Stuttering is a complex disorder that requires specialized expertise for effective assessment and treatment. This paper presents an effort to enhance the FluencyBank dataset with a new stuttering annotation scheme based on established…
It is estimated that around 70 million people worldwide are affected by a speech disorder called stuttering. With recent advances in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), voice assistants are increasingly useful in our everyday lives. Many…
Speech disorders such as stuttering disrupt the normal fluency of speech by involuntary repetitions, prolongations and blocking of sounds and syllables. In addition to these disruptions to speech fluency, most adults who stutter (AWS) also…
Stuttering -- characterized by involuntary disfluencies such as blocks, prolongations, and repetitions -- is often misinterpreted by automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, resulting in elevated word error rates and making voice-driven…
Consumer speech recognition systems do not work as well for many people with speech diferences, such as stuttering, relative to the rest of the general population. However, what is not clear is the degree to which these systems do not work,…
Dysfluencies and variations in speech pronunciation can severely degrade speech recognition performance, and for many individuals with moderate-to-severe speech disorders, voice operated systems do not work. Current speech recognition…
The popularity of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems nowadays leads to an increasing need for improving their accessibility. Handling stuttering speech is an important feature for accessible ASR systems. To improve the accessibility…
Stuttering is a complex speech disorder that negatively affects an individual's ability to communicate effectively. Persons who stutter (PWS) often suffer considerably under the condition and seek help through therapy. Fluency shaping is a…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, increasingly prevalent in education, healthcare, employment, and mobile technology, face significant challenges in inclusivity, particularly for the 80 million-strong global community of people…
Stuttering is a speech disorder which impacts the personal and professional lives of millions of people worldwide. To save themselves from stigma and discrimination, people who stutter (PWS) may adopt different strategies to conceal their…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology can aid in the detection, monitoring, and assessment of depressive symptoms in individuals. ASR systems have been used as a tool to analyze speech patterns and characteristics that are…
