This paper presents preliminary results for the analysis of intelligibility in the speech of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. An automatic speech recognition system is used to compute the word error rate (WER), the Levenshtein distance, and the …
The suitability of articulation measures and speech intelligibility is evaluated to estimate the neurological state of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). A set of measures recently introduced to model the articulatory capability of PD patients …
Parkinson's disease patients develop several impairments related to the speech production process. The deficits of the speech of the patients include reduction in the phonation, articulation, prosody and intelligibility capabilities. Related studies …
