Abstract
This is a description of the construction of a Swedish quantitative and qualitative computerised intelligibility assessment of dysarthric speech including words and sentences. The Word section is based on minimal pairs in a multiple choice answering format (rhyme test). In the Sentence section, words are randomised into grammatically correct nonsense sentences. Ten normal speakers and nine speakers with different types and degrees of dysarthria participated in an evaluation made by three qualified clinicians. The results show that this assessment procedure gives a reliable quantitative measure of word and sentence intelligibility of dysarthric speech. However, low inter- and intrajudge agreement makes the qualitative results less reliable. Still, the qualitative results do give a valuable supplement to the quantitative data.
