Abstract

The diagnosis and therapeutic process of the voice has incorporated digital voice analysis as a useful tool for the specialists. The interchange between engineering and health sciences has improved the understanding of this interface area and the association between quantitative data and qualitative evaluation enhanced both. The purpose of this work is to use the acoustical analysis of voice in order to evaluate how accurate is that tool compared with clinical and perceptual diagnostics. A set of 130 subjects was used to evaluate this comparison. The results are consistent and match favorably the clinic and perceptual achievements (AU)
