Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study evaluated the feasibility of differentiating conversational and clear speech produced by individuals with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) using Landmark-Based Analysis of Speech (LMBAS). Thirty-four adult speakers with MTD recorded conversational and clear speech. Of those, 27 speakers were able to produce clear speech. The recordings of these individuals were analyzed with an open-source LMBAS program, SpeechMark®, MATLAB Toolbox ver. 1.1.2.The mixed-effect logistic regression model indicated that the burst-onset landmark differentiated conversational speech from clear speech. The LMBAS is a potential approach for detecting the difference between conversational and clear speech in individuals with mild to moderate MTD.
