Speech intelligibility of temporally smeared speech
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990In the past, the temporal resolution of the auditory system has been investigated using gap detection and temporal modulation transfer functions for nonspeech stimuli. The present study investigated temporal resolution by examining the effect of temporal smearing of the speech envelope on speech intelligibility.

Rephrasing-based speech intelligibility enhancement
Interspeech 2013, 2013Existing algorithms for improving speech intelligibility in a noisy environment generally focus on modifying the acoustic features of live, recorded or synthesized speech while preserving the phonetic composition (the message). In this paper, we present an algorithm for text-to-speech systems that operates at a higher level of abstraction, the message ...

Coherence and the Speech Intelligibility Index
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004Noise 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].

Measuring up to speech intelligibility
International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2013AbstractImprovement or maintenance of speech intelligibility is a central aim in a whole range of conditions in speech–language therapy, both developmental and acquired. Best clinical practice and pursuance of the evidence base for interventions would suggest measurement of intelligibility forms a vital role in clinical decision‐making and monitoring ...

Speech Intelligibility Enhancement by Interaural Magnification
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990Hearing-impaired persons suffer from loss of speech intelligibility in noisy environments as well as from a decrease in binaural performance (e.g., interaural time and intensity discrimination). In order to improve speech intelligibility for spatially separated signal and noise sources by compensating for the reduced binaural performance, we ...

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.

Phonetic convergence enhances speech intelligibility
Attention, Perception, & PsychophysicsPhonetic convergence describes when a listener's speech becomes subtly more like the speech of a talker they hear. There are many possible reasons why phonetic convergence occurs. Here, we test whether phonetic convergence can facilitate speech perception.

Can CV intelligibility predict speech intelligibility
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008This paper begins by reviewing the speech perception literature to predict cues that would and would not be expected to survive energetic masking of various types. The focus is especially (but not exclusively) on spectrotemporal cues to stops in the vicinity of the segment boundary in CV syllables. The second part of the paper discusses influences that
