| Abstract | The AVQI 03.01 applied to the French language: validity and diagnostic accuracy in the adult population. Does this objective assessment correlate with the patient’s complaint? The Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) is a tool for quantitative assessment of the overall severity of dysphonia. Its computation includes six acoustic parameters, which are all carried out by the freeware Praat. It is based on the recordings of a sustained vowel and a part of a text read aloud. The psychometric qualities of this tool have been confirmed by numerous publications in various languages. However, its validation in French relies on a small cohort of patients, who were not native French speakers. Furthermore, the version 03.01 of the AVQI has not yet been validated at all on a French sample. Hence, this work consists of three main stages. First a preparatory phase is intended to identify the optimal part of a commonly used French text to be used for the validation study. The second aim is to assess the criterion-related concurrent validity and the diagnostic accuracy of the AVQI 03.01 applied to this text extract. Eventually, we investigate the correlation between the AVQI scores and the handicap perceived by the patient, as assessed by the VHI. This work allows us to call for caution in the use of technology and computer science for vocal assessment. To date, the perceptual assessment by the clinician still seems to be the only way to catch the complex and multidimensional vocal reality in its entirety. Mots-clés.
