Repairing Tracheoesophageal Speech Duration
This paper describes an investigation into the repair of the prosodic limitations of tracheoesophageal (TE) speech. The proposed repair algorithm modifies TE phone durations based on the predictions of regression trees built from nonpathological data. Acoustic and language modelling refinements for improved TE phone recognition, studies of feature relevance for duration prediction and a robust ...
متن کاملElectroglottographic and perceptual evaluation of tracheoesophageal speech.
To optimize tracheoesophageal (TO) speech after total laryngectomy, it is vital to have a robust tool of assessment to help investigate deficiencies, document changes, and facilitate therapy. We sought to evaluate and validate electroglottography (EGG) as an important tool in the multidimensional assessment of TO speech. This study is a cross-sectional study of the largest cohort of TO speakers...
متن کاملAutomatic Recognition and Evaluation of Tracheoesophageal Speech
Tracheoesophageal (TE) speech is a possibility to restore the ability to speak after laryngectomy, i.e. the removal of the larynx. TE speech often shows low audibility and intelligibility which also makes it a challenge to automatic speech recognition. We improved the recognition results by adapting a speech recognizer trained on normal, nonpathologic voices to single TE speakers by unsupervise...
متن کاملVoice handicap of laryngectomees with tracheoesophageal speech.
The evaluation of diagnostics and therapies includes more and more subjective, i.e. emotional and social aspects. Focussing on the handicap experienced by dysphonic patients, the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) has previously been found to be of significant clinical and scientific value for different voices. In this study the VHI questionnaire was applied to demonstrate the voice handicap of 20 male...
متن کاملThe intelligibility of tracheoesophageal speech: first results
A total laryngectomy changes the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract, with a most noticeable effect on speech. By applying a voice prosthesis, enabling the patient to use tracheoesophageal (TE) speech, speech is of better quality than with esophageal or electrolarynx speech, but still very deviant from laryngeal speech. Most studies on TE speech have focused on voice quality. For the unde...
