The using of recursive filters system for speech spectrum investigation in oncological patient speech rehabilitation process, advantages and disadvantages of such system are described in this paper. Gullet speech is formed in the process of oncological patient rehabilitation, when larynx is cut out as the result of operation. Such patients have broken connection between the lungs and vocal tract. As the result the usual mechanism of voiced speech generation by means of the system consisting the lungs, larynx, vocal tract is lost. Usually such patients are taught to speak using gullet bubble as a pressure source and gullet contraction as a source of voiced speech. Patients are taught to collect air in gullet to form the pressure source similar to the lungs. Speech therapeutists are to give the quantitative and qualitative assessment to that speech. One of methods is described in this paper.
