Introduction Palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) is used in patients with articulation and
swallowing disorders caused by postoperative loss of tongue tissue due to tongue cancer …

Objective Wide defects resulting from subtotal or total glossectomy are commonly
reconstructed using a bulk flap to maintain oral and speech functions. The flap, including …

In this paper, using GMM-based voice conversion algorithm, we propose to generate
speaker-dependent mapping functions to improve the intelligibility of speech uttered by …

In this paper, we describe the use of a voice conversion algorithm for improving the
intelligibility of speech by patients with articulation disorders caused by a wide glossectomy …

Purpose: Palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) is used on patients with dysphagia and
dysarthria. While several studies have evaluated the effects of PAP, evidence regarding the …

Purpose: To design an efficient tongue prosthesis with reproducibility and to objectively
evaluate improvement in speech function. Methods: A silicon anatomical artificial tongue …

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the naturalness of the reconstructed
glossectomy patient's speech that is generated by voice conversion to enhance the …

Introduction Palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) is used in patients with articulation and
swallowing disorders caused by postoperative loss of tongue tissue due to tongue cancer …

Tongue is one of the most vital organs associated with mastication, swallowing, and speech.
Oncologic management of advanced carcinoma of the tongue is a tricky medical problem …

In this paper, we propose using phonemic information in addition to acoustic features to
improve the intelligibility of speech uttered by patients with articulation disorders caused by …
