The modulation transfer function for speech intelligibility. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2009
We systematically determined which spectrotemporal modulations in speech are necessary for comprehension by human listeners. Speech comprehension has been shown to be robust to spectral and temporal degradations, but the specific relevance of particular ...

Speech Perception in Noise and Listening Effort of Older Adults With Nonlinear Frequency Compression Hearing Aids

open access: yes, 2018
Objectives: The purpose of this laboratory-based study was to compare the efficacy of two hearing aid fittings with and without nonlinear frequency compression, implemented within commercially available hearing aids.

Speech recognition model compression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Speech recognition models are widely deployed in mobile and embedded devices. However, the base architecture with which these models are developed is usually made of neural networks with bigger size and millions of model parameters.

Engaging the articulators enhances perception of concordant visible speech movements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
PURPOSE This study aimed to test whether (and how) somatosensory feedback signals from the vocal tract affect concurrent unimodal visual speech perception.

Behavioral evidence for the role of cortical theta oscillations in determining auditory channel capacity for speech

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Studies on the intelligibility of time-compressed speech have shown flawless performance for moderate compression factors, a sharp deterioration for compression factors above three, and an improved performance as a result of repackaging – a process of ...

Glottal Spectral Separation for Speech Synthesis

open access: yes, 2014
This paper proposes an analysis method to separate the glottal source and vocal tract components of speech that is called Glottal Spectral Separation (GSS). This method can produce high-quality synthetic speech using an acoustic glottal source model.

Fundamental Frequency Estimation of the Speech Signal Compressed by MP3 Algorithm Using PCC Interpolation

open access: yesAdvances in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2010
In this paper the fundamental frequency estimation results of the MP3 modeled speech signal are analyzed. The estimation of the fundamental frequency was performed by the Picking-Peaks algorithm with the implemented Parametric Cubic Convolution (PCC ...

The effect of dialect variation and hearing aid compression type on speech recognition in hearing impaired listeners [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
It is well established that normal hearing listeners presented with speech spoken in an unfamiliar dialect demonstrate a reduction in understanding abilities.

Amplitude Compression for Preventing Rollover at Above-Conversational Speech Levels

open access: yesTrends in Hearing
Hearing aids provide nonlinear amplification to improve speech audibility and loudness perception. While more audibility typically increases speech intelligibility at low levels, the same is not true for above-conversational levels, where decreases in ...

A Redundant Residue Number System Coded Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Joint-Detection Based CDMA Speech Transceiver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A burst-by-burst (BbB) adaptive speech transceiver is proposed, which can drop its source coding rate and speech quality under transceiver control in order to invoke a more error resilient modem mode among less favorable channel conditions.
