口腔癌手术治疗后，患者往往会出现言语障碍等功能障碍。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的方法来评估治疗的结果。患者使用自动语音识别系统的结果的可理解性。以单词识别率作为清晰度评分。与四个语音专家相比，该方法产生的结果与其他专家相比，与最好的语音专家一样好。我们的系统与专家的平均意见之间的相关性为0.92。此外，我们还表明，我们的系统具有比一般专家更好的性能和更可靠的性能。索引词：语音清晰度、语音处理、生物医学声学、声学应用
After surgical treatment of cancer of the oral cavity patients often suffer from functional restrictions such as speech disorders. In this paper we present a novel approach to assess the outcome of the treatment w.r.t. the intelligibility of the patient using the result of an automatic speech recognition system. The word recognition rate was taken as intelligibility score. Compared to four speech experts this method yields results that are as good as the best speech expert compared to the other experts. The correlation between our system and the mean opinion of the experts is .92. Furthermore we show that our system has better performance than the average expert and is more reliable.
