The main objective of the Action is to combine previously unexploited techniques with new theoretical developments to improve the assessment of voice for as many European languages as possible, while acquiring in parallel data with a view to elaborating better voice production models.
Progress in the clinical assessment and enhancement of voice quality requires the cooperation of speech processing engineers and laryngologists as well as phoniatricians. Specifically, this Action is a joint initiative of speech processing teams and the European Laryngological Research Group (ELRG).
