Speech is a complex process that requires control and coordination of articulation,
breathing, voicing, and prosody. Dysarthria is a manifestation of an inability to control and …

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) engines perform well on healthy
speech; however recent studies show that their performance on dysarthric speech is highly …

This paper presents a system that transforms the speech signals of speakers with physical
speech disabilities into a more intelligible form that can be more easily understood by …

Speakers with dysarthria often struggle to accurately pronounce words and effectively
communicate with others. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a powerful tool for …

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is becoming an important assistive tool among the
speech impaired individuals such as dysarthria. Currently, the existing ASR systems were …

Although the UA-Speech and TORGO databases of control and dysarthric speech are
invaluable resources made available to the research community with the objective of …

Dysarthria is a disorder that affects an individual's speech intelligibility due to the paralysis of
muscles and organs involved in the articulation process. As the condition is often associated …

In this study, we investigated the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to recognize
dysarthric speech. Two multilayer neural networks were developed, trained, and tested …

Dysarthric speech has several pathological characteristics, such as discontinuous
pronunciation, uncontrolled volume, slow speech, explosive pronunciation, improper …

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) can provide a rapid means of controlling EAT. Off-the-
shelf ASR systems function poorly for users with severe dysarthria because of the increased …
