Interpreting glottal flow dynamics for detecting COVID-19 from voice [PDF]

, 2020
In the pathogenesis of COVID-19, impairment of respiratory functions is often one of the key symptoms. Studies show that in these cases, voice production is also adversely affected -- vocal fold oscillations are asynchronous, asymmetrical and more restricted during phonation.

Assessment of the effect of supine posture and phonation on modified mallampati grading and its applicability in prediction of difficult airway

Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, 2018
Introduction: As it is not always possible to do Modified Mallampati Test (MMT) in sitting position, this study was designed to test the effect of supine position and phonation on classical MMT and use of such effect in predicting difficult ...

Exploiting Nonlinear Recurrence and Fractal Scaling Properties for Voice Disorder Detection [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Voice disorders affect patients profoundly, and acoustic tools can potentially measure voice function objectively. Disordered sustained vowels exhibit wide-ranging phenomena, from nearly periodic to highly complex, aperiodic vibrations, and ...

Using Beatboxing for Creative Rehabilitation After Laryngectomy:Experiences From a Public Engagement Project [PDF]

, 2020
Laryngectomy is the surgical removal of the larynx (voice box), usually performed in patients with advanced stages of throat cancer. The psychosocial impact of losing the voice is significant, affecting a person’s professional and social life in a ...

Using Crowd-Sourced Speech Data to Study Socially Constrained Variation in Nonmodal Phonation

Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2021
This study examines the status of nonmodal phonation (e.g. breathy and creaky voice) in British English using smartphone recordings from over 2,500 speakers.

Registers in Infant Phonation [PDF]

Journal of Voice, 2019
The primary vocal registers of modal, falsetto, and fry have been studied in adults but not per se in infancy. The vocal ligament is thought to play a critical role in the modal-falsetto contrast but is still developing during infancy (Tateya and Tateya, 2015).41 Cover tissues are also implicated in the modal-fry contrast, but the low fundamental ...

Improved Vocal Effort Transfer Vector Estimation for Vocal Effort-Robust Speaker Verification [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Despite the maturity of modern speaker verification technology, its performance still significantly degrades when facing non-neutrally-phonated (e.g., shouted and whispered) speech. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a new speaker embedding compensation method based on a minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator.

Bulbar ALS Detection Based on Analysis of Voice Perturbation and Vibrato [PDF]

, 2020
On average the lack of biological markers causes a one year diagnostic delay to detect amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To improve the diagnostic process an automatic voice assessment based on acoustic analysis can be used. The purpose of this work was to verify the sutability of the sustain vowel phonation test for automatic detection of patients ...

, 2014
In this paper we attempt to determine the nature and strength of the relationship between the use of formulaic sequences and productive fluency of native speakers of Polish.
