Encyclopedia > Articulation score

In telecommunication, an articulation score (AS) is a subjective measure of the intelligibility of a voice system in terms of the percentage of words correctly understood over a channel perturbed by interference.


Articulation scores have been experimentally obtained as functions of varying word content, bandwidth, audio signal-to-noise ratio and the experience of the talkers and listeners involved.

RCH Speech Articulation Survey : About the Articulation Survey (500 words)
The Articulation Survey was developed at the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) speech pathology department by Neil Atkin and John Fisher (1996) in order to determine the sounds in a child's repertoire in an efficient and uncomplicated manner.
A score for the number of correct target sounds can be compared with scores for children in the 3;5 to 7;11 age range.
Raw scores can be converted to percentile rank and age-standardised scores with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
GFTA Frequently Asked Questions (2019 words)
Therefore, age-based standard scores for an articulation test must be developed by the first method-the one that preserves the shape of the raw-score distributions.
Remember that the age-based standard score indicates the "distance" from average or how different the child is from average for his or her age.
These scores would be at the top of the percentile, meaning that the student with a percentile of 99 has performed as high as or higher than 99 percent of the normative sample at that age.
