Cleft lip and palate (CLP) refer to a congenital craniofacial condition that causes various speech-related disorders. As a result of structural and functional deformities, the affected subjects' speech intelligibility is significantly degraded, limiting the accessibility and usability of speech-controlled devices. Towards addressing this problem, it is desirable to improve the CLP speech intelligibility. Moreover, it would be useful during speech therapy. In this study, the cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN) method is exploited for improving CLP speech intelligibility. The model is trained on native Kannada-speaking childrens' speech data. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is also measured using automatic speech recognition performance. Further, subjective evaluation is performed, and those results also confirm the intelligibility improvement in the enhanced speech over the original.
