In this paper, a description of the software is provided that allows to obtain an automated objective quantitative assessment of the patient's speech quality. The evaluation is carried out in the process of speech rehabilitation after surgical treatment of oncological diseases of the organs of the speech-forming tract. The evaluation is obtained based on comparing patient records before the operation (used as reference ones) and after operation, during the rehabilitation process. The received estimation allows to carry out management of process of speech rehabilitation by the speech therapist. The software allows to minimize the participation of the speech therapist in the process of obtaining the evaluation. The role of the speech therapist is only the control of the patient's actions and correction of his direct mistakes, which allows to speak about the objectivity of the received evaluation. The description of the software, its modules and the results of preliminary approbation are given.
