Intelligibility Measures of Dysarthric Speech
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1964Ten 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)., 2003Dysarthria 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, 2006Purpose 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 ...

Improving the intelligibility of dysarthric speech
Speech Communication, 2007Dysarthria is a speech motor disorder usually resulting in a substantive decrease in speech intelligibility by the general population. In this study, we have significantly improved the intelligibility of dysarthric vowels of one speaker from 48% to 54%, as evaluated by a vowel identification task using 64 CVC stimuli judged by 24 listeners. Improvement

Older adults, even those with normal or near-normal audiograms, report greater subjective listening difficulty in everyday life compared to younger adults. However, their difficulties are not well predicted from pure-tone or speech audiometry in quiet or noise.

Automatic enhancement of speech intelligibility
2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37100), 2002This paper presents a speech signal transformation which slows down speech signals selectively and enhances some important acoustic cues. This transformation can be used not only for hearing aids but also for second language acquisition by facilitating oral comprehension. Selective slowing down relies on the use the TD-PSOLA synthesis method.

Intelligibility of synthetic speech in the presence of interfering speech
Speech Communication, 1989Standard articulation tests are not always sensitive enough to discriminate between speech samples which are of high intelligibility. One can increase the sensitivity of such tests by presenting the test materials in noise. In this way, small differences in intelligibility can be magnified into large differences in articulation scores.

The pretherapy speech intelligibility of a glossectomee
Journal of Communication Disorders, 1974Abstract The speech intelligibility of a glossectomee was established prior to the initiation of therapy. It was found that while quantifiable intelligibility was only moderate, confusions were well ordered into classes. The perceptual characteristics of the glossectomee's speech were not qualitatively different from those reported by others ...

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.

The intelligibility of speech with “holes'’ in the spectrum
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002The intelligibility of speech having either a single “hole” in various bands or having two “holes” in disjoint or adjacent bands in the spectrum was assessed with normal-hearing listeners. In experiment 1, the effect of spectral “holes” on vowel and consonant recognition was evaluated using speech processed through six frequency bands, and synthesized ...
