Checkerboard speech vs interrupted speech: Effects of spectrotemporal segmentation on intelligibility [PDF]
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.

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]
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.

The Intelligibility of Interrupted Speech [PDF]
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.

Neural Entrainment to Speech Modulates Speech Intelligibility [PDF]
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 ...

Intelligibility of temporally interrupted speech [PDF]
The variations in intelligibility of a temporally interrupted connected discourse passage that result from changes in both switching conditions and message rate were studied. Six normal-hearing listeners estimated the intelligibility of ten, 15-sec speech samples presented monaurally at 36 interruption conditions (12 interruption rates × 3 speech-time ...

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 ...

Multi-modal cross-linguistic perception of Mandarin tones in clear speech
Clearly enunciated speech (relative to conversational, plain speech) involves articulatory and acoustic modifications that enhance auditory–visual (AV) segmental intelligibility.

INTELLIGIBILITY OF THE KAZAKH SPEECH WHEN IT'S PROTECTED WITH COMBINED MASKING SIGNALS
The article is devoted to assessing the intelligibility of the Kazakh speech when it's masked by combined signals, including «white» noise and speech-like signals. The phonetics features of the Kazakh language have been considered taking into account the
