Speech Disorder Recognition using MFCC

Speech disability concerns communication issues encompassing hearing, speech, language and fluency. A speech recognition system is proposed to distinguish between a normal and a person having speech disability using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient. The speech disability focused in this work is stuttering which is carried out on normal female speakers and female stutter speakers. This paper presents the capability of MFCC to extract features which could be used to measure the degree of speech disability. This method is a prerequisite for designing and producing standard telecommunications equipment and services that can be used to alleviate the negative consequences of a disability.
