The study introduces an automated system for estimating the Verbal Fluency Index (VFI) in individuals with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) by combining ASR (WhisperX) and VAD (Silero) with precise timestamping. Using a unique MND dataset, the approach outperformed traditional acoustic and self‑supervised embedding methods, achieving high predictive accuracy (R² up to 0.9 for P‑words and 0.8 for S‑words). Clinically inspired features were consistently superior, demonstrating the feasibility of automated VFI estimation for monitoring cognitive impairment in MND.
