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.

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 ...

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 Cortical Dynamics of Intelligible Speech [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Intelligible Lip-to-Speech Synthesis with Speech Units
INTERSPEECH 2023, 2023 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 ...
