Formant analysis in dysphonic patients and automatic Arabic digit speech recognition

Table 4 Best accuracy (%) obtained in pre- and post-management of patients

The table indicates that there is only little improvement in ASR performance achieved after management. For example, medical treatment for Spasmodic Dysphonia patients improved ASR performance from 59% to only 62%. This can be attributed to that, although management of these voice disorders could improve the patient's voice from the clinical point of view, it failed to significantly improve ASR performance.
