Aim The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the reliability of a Hindi version of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Reliability was assessed by comparing Hindi CAPE-V ratings with English CAPE-V ratings and by the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia and Strain (GRBAS) scale. Method Hindi sentences were created to match the phonemic load of the corresponding English CAPE-V sentences. The Hindi sentences were adapted for linguistic content. The original English and adapted Hindi CAPE-V and GRBAS were completed for 33 bilingual individuals with normal voice quality. Additionally, the Hindi CAPE-V and GRBAS were completed for 13 Hindi speakers with disordered voice quality. The agreement of CAPE-V ratings was assessed between language versions, GRBAS ratings, and two rater pairs (three raters in total). Pearson product-moment correlation was completed for all comparisons. Results A strong correlation ( > .8, < .01) was found between the Hindi CAPE-V scores and the English CAPE-V scores for most variables in normal voice participants. A weak correlation was found for the variable of strain ( < .2, = .400) in the normative group. A strong correlation ( > .6, < .01) was found between the overall severity/grade, roughness, and breathiness scores in the GRBAS scale and the CAPE-V scale in normal and disordered voice samples. Significant interrater reliability ( > .75) was present in overall severity and breathiness. Conclusions The Hindi version of the CAPE-V demonstrates good interrater reliability and concurrent validity with the English CAPE-V and the GRBAS. The Hindi CAPE-V can be used for the auditory-perceptual voice assessment of Hindi speakers.
目的 本研究旨在开发并评估印地语版嗓音共识听觉-感知评估（CAPE-V）的可靠性。通过比较印地语CAPE-V评分与英语CAPE-V评分以及使用等级、粗糙度、气息声、无力和紧张（GRBAS）量表来评估可靠性。方法 创建印地语句子以匹配相应英语CAPE-V句子的音素负荷。印地语句子在语言内容上进行了改编。对33名嗓音质量正常的双语个体完成了原始英语版和改编后的印地语版CAPE-V及GRBAS评估。此外，对13名嗓音质量异常的印地语使用者完成了印地语CAPE-V和GRBAS评估。评估了语言版本之间、GRBAS评分之间以及两组评分者（共三名评分者）之间CAPE-V评分的一致性。对所有比较完成了Pearson积差相关分析。结果 在嗓音正常的参与者中，印地语CAPE-V评分与英语CAPE-V评分在大多数变量上存在强相关性（>.8，<.01）。在正常组中，紧张变量的相关性较弱（<.2，=.400）。在嗓音正常和异常的样本中，GRBAS量表中的总体严重程度/等级、粗糙度和气息声评分与CAPE-V量表之间存在强相关性（>.6，<.01）。在总体严重程度和气息声方面存在显著的评分者间信度（>.75）。结论 印地语版CAPE-V表现出良好的评分者间信度以及与英语CAPE-V和GRBAS的同时效度。印地语CAPE-V可用于对印地语使用者进行听觉-感知嗓音评估。
