Abstract :
We analyze several hypernasal speech samples and describe methods to quantify the parameters and properties of hypernasality. This can help medical professionals detect and understand the blurred nasal words that patients try to say. In this way, we may avoid unnecessary medical procedures for hypernasal patients.
