About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether noise-augmented feedback using automatic speech recognition improves intelligibility and social participation in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The main questions the investigators will address are:
Does noise-augmented feedback lead to increased intelligibility, as measured by transcription accuracy scores?
Does a self-managed speech pr…
