The Cortical Dynamics of Intelligible Speech [PDF]
An important and unresolved question is how the human brain processes speech for meaning after initial analyses in early auditory cortical regions. A variety of left-hemispheric areas have been identified that clearly support semantic processing, although a systematic analysis of directed interactions among these areas is lacking.

The clear speech intelligibility benefit for text-to-speech voices: Effects of speaking style and visual guise [PDF]
This study examined how speaking style and guise influence the intelligibility of text-to-speech (TTS) and naturally produced human voices. Results showed that TTS voices were less intelligible overall.

Speech intelligibility in 4-5 year old children
Introduction: Speech intelligibility is the measure of the effectiveness of speech. The Speech intelligibility has important clinical implication including the following: Determining if intervention is needed, setting intervention goals and evaluating ...

Speech Intelligibility in Reverberation is Reduced During Self-Rotation
Speech intelligibility in cocktail party situations has been traditionally studied for stationary sound sources and stationary participants. Here, speech intelligibility and behavior were investigated during active self-rotation of standing participants ...

Cepstral analysis based on the Glimpse proportion measure for improving the intelligibility of HMM-based synthetic speech in noise [PDF]
In this paper we introduce a new cepstral coefficient extraction method based on an intelligibility measure for speech in noise, the Glimpse Proportion measure.

Prediction of Speech Intelligibility by Means of EEG Responses to Sentences in Noise
ObjectiveUnderstanding speech in noisy conditions is challenging even for people with mild hearing loss, and intelligibility for an individual person is usually evaluated by using several subjective test methods.

Preoperative Voice Parameters Affect the Postoperative Speech Intelligibility in Patients with Cochlear Implantation [PDF]
ObjectivesVerbal communication depends on a good function of voice and speech organs. Some of the voice characteristics of deaf people differ considerably from those of speakers with normal hearing.

Is speech intelligibility what speech intelligibility tests test?
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.

In preschoolers, we can observe speech discrepancies very frequently. Atypical discrepancies are important in children’s speech intelligibility and, consequently, their communication self-esteem.

Intelligible Lip-to-Speech Synthesis with Speech Units
In this paper, we propose a novel Lip-to-Speech synthesis (L2S) framework, for synthesizing intelligible speech from a silent lip movement video. Specifically, to complement the insufficient supervisory signal of the previous L2S model, we propose to use quantized self-supervised speech representations, named speech units, as an additional prediction ...
