“…21 In dysphonic voices, the reliability results of these four acoustic measures between Praat and TF32 were mostly comparable with those of vocally healthy voices (fundamental frequency: r = 0.911, jitter: r = 0.959, shimmer: r = 0.642, and harmonics-to-noise ratio/signal-to-noise ratio: r = 0.962; all p-values < 0.001). 21 The correlation coefficients with its highly significant levels are sufficiently reliable for all four acoustic parameters in various voice severity levels. Therefore, clinical trials that used Praat or TF32/CSpeech for treatment evaluation of the four different acoustic measures can be considered for the present meta-analysis.…”

“…These differences of data processing include bias because acoustic measures will vary based on the various acoustic software platforms utilized, such as Multi Dimensional Voice Program, Praat, TF32, Dr. Speech, and WPCVox 21,38,39 . Data differences among the software platforms are due to the fact that each platform uses different algorithms for specific acoustic measurements.…”

ObjectiveMuscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is the most common functional voice disorder. Behavioral voice therapy is the front‐line treatment for MTD, and laryngeal manual therapy may be a part of this treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of manual circumlaryngeal therapy (MCT) on acoustic markers of voice quality (jitter, shimmer, and harmonics‐to‐noise ratio) and vocal function (fundamental frequency) through a systematic review with meta‐analysis.Data SourcesFour databases were searched from inception to December 2022, and a manual search was performed.Review MethodsThe PRISMA extension statement for reporting systematic reviews incorporating a meta‐analysis of health care interventions was applied, and a random effects model was used for the meta‐analyses.ResultsWe identified 6 eligible studies from 30 studies (without duplicates). The MCT approach was highly effective on acoustics with large effect sizes (Cohen's d > 0.8). Significant improvements were obtained in jitter in percent (mean difference of −.58; 95% CI −1.00 to 0.16), shimmer in percent (mean difference of −5.66; 95% CI −8.16 to 3.17), and harmonics‐to‐noise ratio in dB (mean difference of 4.65; 95% CI 1.90–7.41), with the latter two measurements continuing to be significantly improved by MCT when measurement variability is considered.ConclusionThe efficacy of MCT for MTD was confirmed in most clinical studies by assessing jitter, shimmer, and harmonics‐to‐noise ratio related to voice quality. The effects of MCT on the fundamental frequency changes could not be verified. Further contributions of high‐quality randomized control trials are needed to support evidence‐based practice in laryngology. Laryngoscope, 2023

“…10,12 Also, one must keep in mind that the equipment and its features used for audio-recordings are important and can directly alter the results of the measured vocal outcomes. 25,26 Thus, using different software and hardware in the studies may have caused inconsistencies between the study results.…”

Voice onset time (VOT) may be affected by deficits in laryngeal or supralaryngeal structures. This study aimed to compare the VOT parameters between the children with repaired cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) and their healthy peers. Material and Methods: Thirty-nine children with repaired CL/P (X±SD age; 11.51±3.53 years) and 39 healthy children (X±SD age; 11.44±3.40 years) were included in the study. Clinical data including age, gender, speaking language, hearing status, type of CL/P, presence of lip/palate repairment, results of speech-sound disorder examination, and presence of malocclusion and/or oronasal fistula were retrospectively collected. VOT values for /pa/, /ta/, and /ka/ syllables were obtained using Praat software and compared between the study group (SG) and the control group (CG). Results: VOT values differed significantly between the (SG) and (CG) which were prolonged in the SG for all measured /pa/ (p=0.015), /ta/ (p=0.045), and /ka/ (p=0.037) syllables. In the SG, the longest VOT was observed for the /ka/, /ta/, and pa/ syllables, respectively. Conclusion: The presence of CL/P may have contributed to prolonged VOT values in Turkish-speaking children. Since VOT is a reliable acoustic parameter closely interacting with speech structures, clinicians should be aware of this phenomenon.

“…The objective assessment of the voice has received considerable attention, because of its comparatively low cost, easy application, and quantitative output. The various programs available on the market, as Multi-Dimensional Voice Program, provide the possibility to perform a vocal-writing study on the recording made and this allows the extrapolation of acoustic parameters 4 . The purpose of our study was to investigate through acoustic voice analysis the parameters, according to sex, of older patients who came to observation for dysphonia and subsequent diagnosis of presbyphonia.…”
