Abstract:
This study aims to determine whether adding an additional modality improves the inter-rater reliability of phonetic transcription in childhood speech sound disorders (SSDs) and whether it enables the identification of different or additional errors in children’s speech. Two types of transcriptions were undertaken off-line: (1) ultrasound-aided transcription by two ultrasound-trained speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and (2) traditional phonetic transcription from audio recordings, completed by the same two SLPs and additionally by two different SSD specialist SLPs. Results showed that error-detection rates were different across the transcription types, with the ultrasound-aided transcribers identifying more errors than were identified using traditional audio-only transcription. Interrater reliability for classifying the type of error was substantial for the ultrasound-aided transcribers and ranged from fair to moderate for the audio-only transcribers.
