Is speech intelligibility what speech intelligibility tests test?

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022
Natural, conversational speech signals contain sources of symbolic and iconic information, both of which are necessary for the full understanding of speech. But speech intelligibility tests, which are generally derived from written language, present only symbolic information sources, including lexical semantics and syntactic structures.

Neural Entrainment to Speech Modulates Speech Intelligibility [PDF]

Current Biology, 2018
Speech is crucial for communication in everyday life. Speech-brain entrainment, the alignment of neural activity to the slow temporal fluctuations (envelope) of acoustic speech input, is a ubiquitous element of current theories of speech processing. Associations between speech-brain entrainment and acoustic speech signal, listening task, and speech ...

Face mask type affects audiovisual speech intelligibility and subjective listening effort in young and older adults

Cognitive Research, 2021
Identifying speech requires that listeners make rapid use of fine-grained acoustic cues—a process that is facilitated by being able to see the talker’s face.

An automatic measure for speech intelligibility in dysarthrias—validation across multiple languages and neurological disorders [PDF]

Frontiers in Digital Health
IntroductionDysarthria, a motor speech disorder caused by muscle weakness or paralysis, severely impacts speech intelligibility and quality of life.

Syllable-rate-adjusted-modulation (SRAM) predicts clear and conversational speech intelligibility [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
IntroductionObjectively predicting speech intelligibility is important in both telecommunication and human-machine interaction systems. The classic method relies on signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) to successfully predict speech intelligibility.

Sensory representations and pupil-indexed listening effort provide complementary contributions to multi-talker speech intelligibility [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Multi-talker speech intelligibility requires successful separation of the target speech from background speech. Successful speech segregation relies on bottom-up neural coding fidelity of sensory information and top-down effortful listening.

Torchaudio-Squim: Reference-Less Speech Quality and Intelligibility Measures in Torchaudio [PDF]

IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2023
Measuring quality and intelligibility of a speech signal is usually a critical step in development of speech processing systems. To enable this, a variety of metrics to measure quality and intelligibility under different assumptions have been developed ...

Objective speech intelligibility prediction using a deep learning model with continuous speech-evoked cortical auditory responses

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Auditory prostheses provide an opportunity for rehabilitation of hearing-impaired patients. Speech intelligibility can be used to estimate the extent to which the auditory prosthesis improves the user’s speech comprehension.

Multivariate fMRI responses in superior temporal cortex predict visual contributions to, and individual differences in, the intelligibility of noisy speech

NeuroImage, 2023
Humans have the unique ability to decode the rapid stream of language elements that constitute speech, even when it is contaminated by noise. Two reliable observations about noisy speech perception are that seeing the face of the talker improves ...
