Randomized trial validates a computer-assisted scoring framework for stuttering severity, suggesting improved objectivity.

The study aims to develop and validate the Computer-Based Stuttering Analysis (CBSA) framework for scoring stuttering severity objectively.
Cross-sectional study design with 160 Arabic-speaking participants: 80 with stuttering and 80 fluent controls.
Speech samples analyzed using the Computer-Based Stuttering Analysis (CBSA) framework for frequency and severity metrics.
Evaluated validity and reliability through correlation analysis and diagnostic performance measures.
CBSA showed strong agreement with ASSI measures (Spearman’s r = 0.87–0.98, P < 0.01) with minimal bias.
Fluency measures distinguished patients from controls significantly (P < 0.01), demonstrating high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.95 to 0.96).
High inter-rater reliability observed (ICC = 0.93–0.97) with acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.68–0.75).

Aref et al. (2026) studied this question.
