Description

<p>Reading tasks have frequently been used in clinical examination of voice and speech disorders. In recent years, speech samples derived from reading tasks are useful not only for auditory perceptual evaluation but also for acoustic analysis of voice quality. However, in Japan several passages and short sentences are commonly used in the clinical situation, and there is no consensus on standard reading tasks. <br>Based on a search of literature and auditory materials after 1990, "The North Wind and the Sun," "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "A Rabbit Popped Out of the Bush" ("Yabuno nakakara usagiga pyokonto detekimashita" in Japanese) are identified as the most frequently used reading tasks. Here, we describe several aspects related to these three major reading tasks, including text, notation, origin, subject and purpose of development. <br>Development of standard reading tasks and unification of examination protocol are proposed. "The North Wind and the Sun 2022" is used to exemplify a standard reading task for further development of this study.</p>
