Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that results in slow and often incomprehensible speech. Speech intelligibility significantly impacts communication, leading to barriers in social interactions. Dysarthria is often a characteristic of…
Dysarthria is a speech disorder characterized by impaired intelligibility and reduced communicative effectiveness. Automatic dysarthria assessment provides a scalable, cost-effective approach for supporting the diagnosis and treatment of…
Dysarthria is a condition which hampers the ability of an individual to control the muscles that play a major role in speech delivery. The loss of fine control over muscles that assist the movement of lips, vocal chords, tongue and…
Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder, severely impacts voice quality, pronunciation, and prosody, leading to diminished speech intelligibility and reduced quality of life. Accurate assessment is crucial for effective treatment, but…
Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder, affects intelligibility and requires targeted interventions for effective communication. In this work, we investigate automated mispronunciation feedback by collecting a dysarthric speech dataset from…
Dysarthria is a speech disorder that hinders communication due to difficulties in articulating words. Detection of dysarthria is important for several reasons as it can be used to develop a treatment plan and help improve a person's quality…
Purpose: Speech intelligibility is a critical outcome in the assessment and management of dysarthria, yet most research and clinical practices have focused on English, limiting their applicability across languages. This commentary…
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder often characterized by reduced speech intelligibility through slow, uncoordinated control of speech production muscles. Automatic Speech recognition (ASR) systems may help dysarthric talkers communicate…
Automatic detection and severity assessment of dysarthria are crucial for delivering targeted therapeutic interventions to patients. While most existing research focuses primarily on speech modality, this study introduces a novel approach…
Dysarthria is a neurological speech disorder that can significantly impact affected individuals' communication abilities and overall quality of life. The accurate and objective classification of dysarthria and the determination of its…
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder often characterized by reduced speech intelligibility through slow, uncoordinated control of speech production muscles. Automatic Speech recognition (ASR) systems can help dysarthric talkers communicate…
Wearable silent speech systems hold significant potential for restoring communication in patients with speech impairments. However, seamless, coherent speech remains elusive, and clinical efficacy is still unproven. Here, we present an…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems struggle with dysarthric speech due to high inter-speaker variability and slow speaking rates. To address this, we explore dysarthric-to-healthy speech conversion for improved ASR performance. Our…
Dysarthria, a condition resulting from impaired control of the speech muscles due to neurological disorders, significantly impacts the communication and quality of life of patients. The condition's complexity, human scoring and varied…
Dysarthric speech recognition (DSR) enhances the accessibility of smart devices for dysarthric speakers with limited mobility. Previously, DSR research was constrained by the fact that existing datasets typically consisted of isolated…
Dysarthria is a neurological disorder that significantly impairs speech intelligibility, often rendering affected individuals unable to communicate effectively. This necessitates the development of robust dysarthric-to-regular speech…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) for dysarthric speech remains challenging due to data scarcity, particularly in non-English languages. To address this, we fine-tune a voice conversion model on English dysarthric speech (UASpeech) to…
Dysarthric speech reconstruction (DSR) aims to transform dysarthric speech into normal speech by improving the intelligibility and naturalness. This is a challenging task especially for patients with severe dysarthria and speaking in…
Dysarthric speech poses significant challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems due to its high variability and reduced intelligibility. In this work we explore the use of diffusion models for dysarthric speech enhancement,…
Dysarthria is a motor speech impairment affecting millions of people. Dysarthric speech can be far less intelligible than those of non-dysarthric speakers, causing significant communication difficulties. The goal of our work is to develop a…
