Although personalized automatic speech recognition (ASR) models have recently been designed to recognize even severely impaired speech, model performance may degrade over time for persons with degenerating speech. The aims of this study…

This study investigates the performance of personalized automatic speech recognition (ASR) for recognizing disordered speech using small amounts of per-speaker adaptation data. We trained personalized models for 195 individuals with…

The rapid population aging has stimulated the development of assistive devices that provide personalized medical support to the needies suffering from various etiologies. One prominent clinical application is a computer-assisted speech…

Many consumer speech recognition systems are not tuned for people with speech disabilities, resulting in poor recognition and user experience, especially for severe speech differences. Recent studies have emphasized interest in personalized…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) research has achieved impressive performance in recent years and has significant potential for enabling access for people with dysarthria (PwD) in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and home…

This paper enhances dysarthric and dysphonic speech recognition by fine-tuning pretrained automatic speech recognition (ASR) models on the 2023-10-05 data package of the Speech Accessibility Project (SAP), which contains the speech of 253…

Automatic recognition of dysarthric speech remains a highly challenging task to date. Neuro-motor conditions and co-occurring physical disabilities create difficulty in large-scale data collection for ASR system development. Adapting SSL…

We present a case study on developing a customized speech-to-text system for a Hungarian speaker with severe dysarthria. State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) models struggle with zero-shot transcription of dysarthric speech,…

In this work, we present our submission to the Speech Accessibility Project challenge for dysarthric speech recognition. We integrate parameter-efficient fine-tuning with latent audio representations to improve an encoder-decoder ASR…

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) models like Whisper, perform poorly on atypical speech, such as that produced by individuals with dysarthria. Past works for atypical speech have mostly investigated fully personalized (or…

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…

Dysarthric speech recognition faces challenges from severity variations and disparities relative to normal speech. Conventional approaches individually fine-tune ASR models pre-trained on normal speech per patient to prevent feature…

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…

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…

This study investigates the impact of integrating a dataset of disordered speech recordings ($\sim$1,000 hours) into the fine-tuning of a near state-of-the-art ASR baseline system. Contrary to what one might expect, despite the data being…

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…

While current state-of-the-art Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems achieve high accuracy on typical speech, they suffer from significant performance degradation on disordered speech and other atypical speech patterns. Personalization…

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…

Building a high quality automatic speech recognition (ASR) system with limited training data has been a challenging task particularly for a narrow target population. Open-sourced ASR systems, trained on sufficient data from adults, are…

Automatic speech recognition systems based on deep learning are mainly trained under empirical risk minimization (ERM). Since ERM utilizes the averaged performance on the data samples regardless of a group such as healthy or dysarthric…
