TL;DR: The CAPE-V form and instructions enable clinicians to document perceived voice quality deviations following a standard protocol and promote a standardized approach to evaluating and documenting auditory-perceptual judgments of vocal quality.

TL;DR: A theoretical framework is proposed that attributes variability in ratings to several sources (including listeners' backgrounds and biases, the task used to gather ratings, interactions between listeners and tasks, and random error), leading to more reliable perceptual ratings and a better understanding of the perceptual qualities of pathological voices.

TL;DR: Results suggest that explicitly anchored paradigms for voice quality evaluation might improve both research and clinical practice and suggest that internal standards for vocal qualities are inherently unstable, and may be influenced by factors other than the physical signal being judged.

TL;DR: In this article, 16 listeners judged the dissimilarity of pairs of voices drawn from pathological and normal populations, using a multidimensional scaling solution to find the similarity of the voices.

TL;DR: In this article, the reliability of acoustic measures obtained from these programs remains unknown, particularly when they are a voice analysis software, and they are used for the analysis of dysphonic voices.
