Speech intelligibility studies in classrooms

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
Speech intelligibility tests and acoustical measurements were made in ten occupied classrooms. Octave-band measurements of background noise levels, early decay times, and reverberation times, as well as various early/late sound ratios, and the center time were obtained. Various octave-band useful/detrimental ratios were calculated along with the speech

A binaural grouping model for predicting speech intelligibility in multitalker environments [PDF]

, 2018
Spatially separating speech maskers from target speech often leads to a large intelligibility improvement. Modeling this phenomenon has long been of interest to binaural-hearing researchers for uncovering brain mechanisms and for improving signal ...

Shorter Sentence Length Maximizes Intelligibility and Speech Motor Performance in Persons With Dysarthria Due to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2019
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sentence length on intelligibility and measures of speech motor performance in persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and to determine how these effects were influenced by ...

Developing evidence‐based cancer prevention recommendations: Methodology of the World Code Against Cancer Framework to create region‐specific codes

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Prevention offers the greatest public health potential and the most cost‐effective long‐term cancer control strategy. Authoritative, clear, evidence‐based, and region‐specific recommendations to actively contribute to cancer prevention are extremely valuable for the public, health professionals, advocates, and policymakers worldwide. The World

The effects of a surgical mask and an N95 mask on intelligibility of explicit and ambiguous speech produced in the operating room environment

Anesthesiology and Perioperative Science
Purpose We investigated the effects of a surgical mask and an N95 mask on speech intelligibility using explicit and ambiguous sentences in Japanese. In addition, the effects of background noise specific to an operating room environment on the speech ...

Using Body-Conducted Acoustic Sensors for Human-Robot Communication in Noisy Environments

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
In this study, the use of alternative acoustic sensors in human-robot communication is investigated. In particular, a Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone was applied in tele-operating the Geminoid HI-1 robot in noisy environments.

Predictors of speech intelligibility in rooms

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
Three different types of acoustical measures were compared as predictors of speech intelligibility in rooms of varied size and acoustical conditions. These included signal-to-noise measures, the speech transmission index derived from modulation transfer functions, and useful/detrimental sound ratios obtained from early/late sound ratios, speech, and ...

Longitudinal Growth in Single Word Intelligibility Among Children With Cerebral Palsy From 24 to 96 Months of Age: Predicting Later Outcomes From Early Speech Production.

Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk for significant communication problems. Reduced speech intelligibility is common, even for those who do not have speech motor deficits.
