Automatic Speech Signal Analysis for Clinical Diagnosis and Assessment of Speech Disorders
provides a survey of methods designed to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and monitoring of
speech disorders such as dysarthria and dyspraxia  with an emphasis on the signal processing
techniques  statistical validity of the results presented in the literature  and the
appropriateness of methods that do not require specialized equipment  rigorously controlled
recording procedures or highly skilled personnel to interpret results. Such techniques offer
the promise of a simple and cost-effective  yet objective  assessment of a range of medical
conditions  which would be of great value to clinicians. The ideal scenario would begin with
the collection of examples of the clients' speech  either over the phone or using portable
recording devices operated by non-specialist nursing staff. The recordings could then be
analyzed initially to aid diagnosis of conditions  and subsequently to monitor the clients'
progress and response to treatment. The automation of this process would allow more frequent
and regular assessments to be performed  as well as providing greater objectivity.
