The inter-rater variability in perceptual voice evaluation still limits the widespread clinical use of the best available rating system. Support of visible speech in experimental conditions demonstrates a significant enhancement of the inter-rater agreement. However it does not influence the correlation between perceptual and conventional acoustic parameters. The addition of visible speech to the clinical setting is feasible since nowadays affordable computer programs provide the spectrogram in quasi real time.
