The results of the study showed that the majority of participants produced the highest number of speech sounds targeted within the imitated sentence task. Participants attempted and produced the least amount of speech sounds on their spontaneous speech sample. The assessment with the highest percentage...
The effect of speech sample size on the test-retest stability of two measures of connected speech--words per minute (WPM) and percent of words that are correct information units (Percent CIUs)--was evaluated. A standard set of 10 stimuli was used to elicit connected speech from 20 non-brai...
The time-frequency domain-based methods such as short-time Fourier transform (STFT), wavelet transform (WT), Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), local mean decomposition (LMD), empirical mode decomposition (EMD), which are introduced for nonstationary waveform signals, are used to extract features from...
The CNNs have been demonstrated to be successful in many applications such as medical imaging, object recognition, speech recognition, visual document analysis [78,79,80,81]. In the second stage of our proposed method, we employed CNNs to deal with the classification problem of bearing health ...

As such, CS assessment may prove a quick, clinical speech tool ...
sample sizeConnected speech (CS) is an important component of child speech assessment in both clinical practice and research. There is debate in the literature regarding what size sample of CS is required to facilitate reliable measures of speech output. The aim of this study was to identify ...

Participants attempted and produced the least amount of speech sounds on their spontaneous speech sample. The assessment with the highest percentage of accurately produced consonants was the imitated sentence task. The majority of participants produced a higher number of error patterns in their single-...
