arXiv:2606. 19797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dysarthric speech recognition is crucial for facilitating effective communication among individuals with dysarthria.
The paper evaluates whether audio‑language models can use multimodal clinical context to improve dysarthric speech recognition. Using a benchmark built on the Speech Accessibility Project dataset, the authors test diagnosis labels, clinician ratings, and detailed clinical descriptions as prompts for nine models. They find that these prompts yield negligible or negative effects on word error rate, though fine‑tuning with LoRA and mixed prompt formats reduces WER by 52% and benefits certain subgroups such as Down syndrome and mild‑severity speakers.
Individuals with dysarthria face significant challenges in professional speaking scenarios such as conferences, presentations, and meetings, where real-time communication is crucial. While existing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems provide basic support, they often fail to meet the demands of professional speaking environments due to high latency and unnatural speech patterns.
