Voiceitt for People With Impairments in Speech
{ "Voiceitt for People With Speech Impairments", "This study is looking at how well the Voiceitt app helps people with speech difficulties communicate. Voiceitt is an app that uses voice recognition to understand and adapt to unique speech patterns. We want to see if it can improve communication for individuals aged 13 and older who have moderately severe speech dysarthria (difficulty speaking due to muscle weakness) caused by conditions like cerebral palsy (CP), stroke, ALS, or Parkinson's disease. To join, you need to be able to understand and use the Voiceitt app. We will measure changes in communication abilities using two different scales over about 7-8 months. The study is currently recruiting about 20 participants.", "design": "This is an interventional study, meaning participants will use the Voiceitt app. It is a pilot study with a planned enrollment of 20 participants.", "commitments": "Participants will use the Voiceitt app. Communication abilities will be measured at the beginning of the study, and again at 5-6 months and 7-8 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for approximately 7-8 months after starting the study, with assessments at 5-6 months and 7-8 months.", }

What this trial measures
- Change in Communication Abilities as measured by SIRBaseline (Day 1), 5-6 months, and 7-8 months
Change in Communication Abilities as measured by Speech Intelligibility Rating (SIR) that quantifies clarity of speech. The rating ranges from 1-5. low rating means speech is unintelligible, and highest rating means speech is intelligible to all listeners. Change in SIR is measured by administering SIR at 3 different time points, at baseline, and two times after intervention.
- Change in Communication Abilities as measured by Communication Effectiveness Index (CETI)Baseline (day 1), 5-6 months, and 7-8 months
Change in Communication Abilities as measured by Communication Effectiveness Index (CETI) that measures perceived effectiveness of communication in daily activities. CETI is a 16 item questionnaire. Each item is scored from 1-100. The final score of CETI is the averaged score across the 16 items, and ranges from 1-100. A high score indicates good performance in functional communication and a low score, poor performance. Change in CETI is measured by administering CETI at 3 different time points, at baseline, and two times after intervention.
