不依赖语音转录，仅用原始音频就能筛查阿尔茨海默病。

It is still hard to find Alzheimer's disease (AD) early, especially when neuroimaging is expensive or tools that depend on language are not available. Spontaneous speech provides a non-invasive signal; however, numerous current methodologies depend on transcripts/ASR or computationally intensive deep models. We offer a simple, audio-only baseline for detecting AD using 176 Cookie Theft recordings from the DementiaBank Pitt corpus (88 AD, 88 controls). WebRTC voice activity detection (VAD) is used to separate speech from non-speech. We take out 99 hand-crafted acoustic-temporal features, including pause and fluency statistics, spectral/prosodic descriptors, and MFCC summaries with Δ and ΔΔ. Evaluation is performed using a stringent speaker-independent GroupShuffleSplit,documenting performance across 30 iterations. A lightweight SVM with an RBF kernel gets an average AUC of 0.674 across runs. For example, a single split has an AUC of 0.742 and an accuracy of 0.657. We also present an exploratory compact-feature analysis utilizing a Top-20 subset ranked by Random Forest importance; since selection is not nested within training splits, these results may be overly optimistic and are not employed for primary conclusions (AUC 0.719). The results indicate that transcript-free spectro-temporal and fluency-related cues can facilitate speaker-independent Alzheimer's disease screening from raw audio, establishing a practical foundation for deployment-oriented research.
