Intercultural differences in evaluation of pathological voice quality: perceptual and acoustical comparisons between RASATI and GRBASI scales
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes differences and commonality in pathological voice quality evaluation between two different scaling systems, GRBASI and RASATI. The results identified significant interrelations between the scales. Harshness, included in RASATI, is described as noisiness and strain in the GRBASI scale. Roughness is found to be the most consistent factor and easiest to identify by listeners of different linguistic backgrounds. Intercultural agreement in pathological voice quality evaluation seems to be possible.

متن کاملMeasuring vocal quality with speech synthesis.
Much previous research has demonstrated that listeners do not agree well when using traditional rating scales to measure pathological voice quality. Although these findings may indicate that listeners are inherently unable to agree in their perception of such complex auditory stimuli, another explanation implicates the particular measurement method-rating scale judgments-as the culprit. An alte...

The objective of the study was to determine whether a communicative suitability rating instrument could be used in a meaningful way to assess functionality of voice following radiotherapy for T1 glottic cancer. Seventeen naive listeners judged the suitability of voice of a patient group with T1 glottic carcinoma (n = 20) just before treatment, a group of patients (n = 40) after radiotherapy, an...
