Luis M. T. Jesus, Anna Barney, Pedro Sá Couto, Helena Vilarinho, Ana Correia

In this study, the voice quality of 40 patients was assessed, with the Universidade de Aveiro's Voice Evaluation Protocol. The sample included 40 patients with a variety of clinical diagnoses. A number of acoustic parameter were extracted including: median F0, mean F0, F0 std deviation, Jitter and Shimmer and HNR. Analysis of the correlation between corresponding parameters of the CAPE-V and GRBAS scales was made. The perceptual parameters grade (global in CAPE-V), roughness and breathiness were also compared individually with the objective acoustic parameters.
