Establishing Validity of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V)

Abstract

Although both CAPE-V and GRBAS reliability coefficients varied across raters and parameters, this study reports slightly improved rater reliability using the CAPE-V to make perceptual judgments of voice quality in comparison to the GRBAS scale. The results provide evidence for the empirical (concurrent) validity of the CAPE-V.
