Intelligibility of temporally interrupted speech [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1971 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 clear speech intelligibility benefit for text-to-speech voices: Effects of speaking style and visual guise [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 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.

Generating Intelligible Audio Speech From Visual Speech [PDF]
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2017 This paper is concerned with generating intelligible audio speech from a video of a person talking. Regression and classification methods are proposed first to estimate static spectral envelope features from active appearance model visual features. Two further methods are then developed to incorporate temporal information into the prediction: A feature-

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.

Speech Intelligibility in Reverberation is Reduced During Self-Rotation
Trends in Hearing, 2023 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 ...

Prediction of Speech Intelligibility by Means of EEG Responses to Sentences in Noise
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 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.

Evaluation of the Importance of Time-Frequency Contributions to Speech Intelligibility in Noise [PDF]
, 2014 Recent studies on binary masking techniques make the assumption that each time-frequency (T-F) unit contributes an equal amount to the overall intelligibility of speech.

Preoperative Voice Parameters Affect the Postoperative Speech Intelligibility in Patients with Cochlear Implantation [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2012 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.
