Quantitative acoustic measurements for characterization of speech and voice disorders in early untreated Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: It was found that measurement of the fundamental frequency variations applied to two selected tasks was the best method for separating healthy from PD subjects and it has been demonstrated that 78% of early untreated PD subjects indicate some form of vocal impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated analysis of connected speech reveals early biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease in patients with rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder

TL;DR: It is shown that subliminal parkinsonian speech deficits can be reliably captured even in RBD patients, which are at high risk of developing PD or other synucleinopathies, and automated vocal analysis should soon be able to contribute to screening and diagnostic procedures for prodromal parkinsonia in natural environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imprecise vowel articulation as a potential early marker of Parkinson's disease: effect of speaking task.

TL;DR: Impaired vowel articulation may be considered as a possible early marker of PD because complex tasks such as monologue are more likely to elicit articulatory deficits in parkinsonian speech, compared to other speaking tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automatic detection of Parkinson's disease in running speech spoken in three different languages.

TL;DR: A method for the characterization of the speech signals, based on the automatic segmentation of utterances into voiced and unvoiced frames, is addressed here and proves to be more accurate than classical approaches in the automatic classification of speech of people with PD and healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automatic evaluation of articulatory disorders in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Imprecise consonant articulation was found to be the most powerful indicator of PD-related dysarthria and is envisaged as the first step towards development of acoustic methods allowing the automated assessment of articulatory features in dysarthrias.
