| Abstract: | In this paper, an automatic assessment procedure for
monitoring the speech progress of patients who have
undergone intra-oral surgery is evaluated. The metric is
currently limited to fricative segments and is based on
centroid analysis of the speech spectra. The scores
provided by this means are correlated with an
articulatory assessment provided by a panel of 3
phoneticians. Preliminary results show a degree of
correlation between mean panel scores for perceived
quality and scores relating to this measure obtained by
computer analysis but lateral and nasal co-articulation
are not well represented by the metric. |
