ABSTRACT Hypothesis/Objectives This study's objective was to develop a method to the evaluate the chaotic characteristic of alaryngeal speech. The proposed method will be capable of distinguishing between normal and alaryngeal voices, including esophageal (SE) and tracheoesophageal (TE) voices. It has been previously shown that alaryngeal voices exhibit chaotic characteristics due to the aperiodicity of their signals. The proposed method will be applied for future use to quantify both chaos behavior and the difference between SE and TE voices. Study Design A total of 74 voice recordings including 34 normal and 40 alaryngeal (26 esophageal (SE) and 14 tracheoesophageal (TE)) were used in the study. Voice samples were analyzed to distinguish alaryngeal voices from normal voices and investigate different chaotic characteristics of SE and TE speech. Methods A chaotic distribution detection-based method was used to investigate the chaos behavior of alaryngeal voices. This chaos behavior was used to detect the difference between SE and TE voice types. Quantification of the chaos behavior (CB) parameter was performed. Statistical analyses were used to compare the results of the CB analysis for both the SE and TE voices. Results Statistical analysis revealed that CB effectively differentiated between all normal and alaryngeal voice types (P
