A Dutch Dysarthric Speech Database for Individualized Speech Therapy Research
We present a new Dutch dysarthric speech database containing utterances of neurological patients with Parkinson{'}s disease, traumatic brain injury and cerebrovascular accident. The speech content is phonetically and linguistically diversified by using numerous structured sentence and word lists. Containing more than 6 hours of mildly to moderately dysarthric speech, this database can be used for research on dysarthria and for developing and testing speech-to-text systems designed for medical applications. Current activities aimed at extending this database are also discussed.
