Expectations and speech intelligibility

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
Socio-indexical cues and paralinguistic information are often beneficial to speech processing as this information assists listeners in parsing the speech stream. Associations that particular populations speak in a certain speech style can, however, make it such that socio-indexical cues have a cost.

Intelligibility of Children’s Speech in Digitized Speech

Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2012
The current investigation examined the intelligibility of digitized speech recorded from typically developing child speakers, ages 4, 5, 6, and 7 years, and reproduced on an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device with digitized speech output. The study used a between group design.

Coherence and the Speech Intelligibility Index

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
Noise and distortion reduce the sound quality in hearing aids, but there is no established procedure for calculating sound quality in these devices. This presentation introduces a new intelligibility and sound-quality calculation procedure based on the Speech Intelligibility Index [ANSI S3.5-1997].

Speech intelligibility assessment in a helium environment. II. The speech intelligibility index

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998
The Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) was measured for Navy divers participating in two saturation deep dives and for a group of nondivers to test different communication systems and their components. These SIIs were validated using the Speech Perception in Noise (SPIN) test and the Griffiths version of the Modified Rhyme Test (GMRT).

The effect of speech and speech intelligibility on task performance

Ergonomics, 2006
The aim of this study was to find out what are the effects of three different sound environments on performance of cognitive tasks of varying complexity. These three sound environments were 'speech', 'masked speech' and 'continuous noise'. They corresponded to poor, acceptable and perfect acoustical privacy in an open-plan office, respectively.

Improving alaryngeal speech intelligibility

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1990
Laryngectomized patients using esophageal speech or an electronic artificial larynx have difficulty producing correct voicing contrasts between homorganic consonants. Voicing of a voiceless consonant is the most frequent listener misidentification. A therapy technique is described that emphasizes "pushing harder" on voiceless consonants to improve the ...

Intelligibility Measures of Dysarthric Speech

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1964
Ten dysarthric and 10 matched normal speakers recorded three word lists (50 CNC’s, 60 Clusters, and 50 Spondees). Intelligibility scores were obtained for lists, order of presentation, list by order of presentation, and lists and order of presentation combined.

Intelligibility of modifications to dysarthric speech

2003 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2003. Proceedings. (ICASSP '03)., 2003
Dysarthria is a motor speech impairment affecting millions of people. Dysarthric speech can be far less intelligible than that of non-dysarthric speakers, causing significant communication difficulties. The goal of our work is to understand the effect that certain modifications have on the intelligibility of dysarthric speech.

Measurement of Intelligibility in Disordered Speech

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2006
Purpose To determine empirically which of three frequently observed rules in children with phonological disorders contributes most to difficulties in speaker intelligibility. Method To evaluate the relative effects on intelligibility of deletion of final consonants (DFC), stopping ...

Speech and intelligibility

1994
Speech is a most efficient means of communication that is resilient to background noise, interference and distortion. It can be understood despite different voices and accents, even on the telephone with no visual cues and a very restricted frequency range.
