An automatic measure for speech intelligibility in dysarthrias—validation across multiple languages and neurological disorders [PDF]
Frontiers in Digital HealthIntroductionDysarthria, 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 NeuroscienceIntroductionObjectively 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 ReportsMulti-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.

Checkerboard speech vs interrupted speech: Effects of spectrotemporal segmentation on intelligibility [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 The intelligibility of interrupted speech (interrupted over time) and checkerboard speech (interrupted over time-by-frequency), both of which retained a half of the original speech, was examined.

The Intelligibility of Interrupted Speech [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1948 This paper concerns the effects of interrupting speech waves—turning them on and off intermittently or masking them with intermittent noise—upon their intelligibility. The effects were studied with various rates of interruption and with the speech left undisturbed various percentages of the time.

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 ...

The intelligibility of pointillistic speech [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009 A form of processed speech is described that is highly discriminable in a closed-set identification format. The processing renders speech into a set of sinusoidal pulses played synchronously across frequency. The processing and results from several experiments are described.

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 ...

Brain Sciences, 2021 The Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS) is a widely used, efficient tool for describing a child’s speech intelligibility. Few studies have explored the relationship between ICS scores and transcription intelligibility scores, which are the gold ...
