Abstract

Speech data that include a series of signal-on time periods separated by signal-free time periods, are represented by separating the speech data into a series of utterances separated by pauses, wherein an utterance is defined to include at least a first signal-on time period and to have at least a duration of a minimum utterance duration, and a pause is defined to include at least a first signal-free time period. The presented speech data can be evaluated based on at least one of durations of pauses, durations of utterances, and frequency values within the utterances to, for example, gain information about the health state of subject having produced the speech data.
